Answer:

a) Batteries and fuel cells are examples of galvanic cell

b) Ag-cathode and Zn-anode

c) Cell notation:  Zn(s)|Zn²⁺(aq) || Ag⁺(aq)|Ag(s)

Explanation:

a) A galvanic cell is an electrochemical cell in which chemical energy is converted to electrical energy. The chemical reaction which drives a galvanic cell is a redox reaction i.e. a reduction-oxidation process.

A typical galvanic cell is composed of two electrodes immersed in a suitable electrolyte and connected via a salt bridge. One of the electrodes serves as a cathode where reduction or gain of electrons takes place. The other half cell functions as an anode where oxidation or loss of electrons occurs. Batteries and fuel cells are examples of galvanic cells.

b) The nature of the electrode that will serve as an anode or cathode depends on the value of the standard reduction potential (E⁰) of that electrode. The electrode with a higher or more positive the value of E⁰ serves as the cathode and the other will function as an anode.

In the given case, the E⁰ values from the standard reduction potential table are:

E⁰(Zn/Zn2+) = -0.763 V

E°(Ag/Ag+)=+0.799 V

Therefore, Ag will be the cathode and Zn will be the anode

c) In the standard cell notation, the anode half cell is written on the left followed by the salt bridge '||' and finally the cathode half cell to the right.

Zn(s)|Zn²⁺(aq) || Ag⁺(aq)|Ag(s)

What is the name for the layer of cells at the back of the eye that contains photoreceptors?
Alona [7]
B.) The retina is the layer containing t<span>he light sensing nerve cells (rods and cones)

The lens helps the eye focus light on the retina, the cornea is the outer transparent structure that covers the iris and helps the eye focus, and the pupil is the opening through which light enters the eye.</span>

This one question is on fotoeletric effect. Does the kinetic energy of the ejected electrons from metal depends on the intensity
grandymaker [24]
Energy of one photon = kinetic energy of photoelectron + work function energy of metal.
Intensity of radiation is proportional to the number of photons arriving per second

If the molecules in the desk in front of you are moving, then<br> why is the desk standing still?
PolarNik [594]
They shake and move around while staying put since they cannot move freely, hence being part of a solid.
