Almost all catalysts work by lowering the activation energy of the reaction with no change in the free energy of the reaction
- So in this case we can say that palladium reduce automobile pollution by catalyzing the reaction between un-burned hydrocarbons and oxygen :
D. by decreasing the activation energy
Electric and magnetic fields do not affect xrays as they only affect charged particles and xrays have no charge
hope that helps
Answer : The correct option is, (b) +0.799 V
Solution :
The values of standard reduction electrode potential of the cell are:
![E^0_{[H^{+}/H_2]}=+0.00V](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%5E0_%7B%5BH%5E%7B%2B%7D%2FH_2%5D%7D%3D%2B0.00V)
![E^0_{[Ag^{+}/Ag]}=+0.799V](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%5E0_%7B%5BAg%5E%7B%2B%7D%2FAg%5D%7D%3D%2B0.799V)
From the cell representation we conclude that, the hydrogen (H) undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons and thus act as anode. Silver (Ag) undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.
The half reaction will be:
Reaction at anode (oxidation) :
Reaction at cathode (reduction) :
The balanced cell reaction will be,

Now we have to calculate the standard electrode potential of the cell.

![E^o_{cell}=E^o_{[Ag^{+}/Ag]}-E^o_{[H^{+}/H_2]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%5Eo_%7Bcell%7D%3DE%5Eo_%7B%5BAg%5E%7B%2B%7D%2FAg%5D%7D-E%5Eo_%7B%5BH%5E%7B%2B%7D%2FH_2%5D%7D)

Therefore, the standard cell potential will be +0.799 V
Maybe if you put it in english i’ll answer.. nahh jp i’m fluent
