Chemistry
1 answer:
Aneli [31]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x=34

y=20

Explanation:

let the first number be 'x'

let the second number be 'y'

Equation 1:-

x + y = 54

Equation 2:-

x = y + 14  (Since one exceeds the other by 14)

Substituting Equation 2 in Equation 1:-

(y + 14) + y = 54

=> y + 14 + y = 54

=> 2y + 14 = 54

=> 2y = 54 - 14

=> 2y = 40

=> y = 40/2

=> y = 20

Now in Equation 1:-

x + y = 54

Substituting y=20,

x + 20 = 54

x = 54 - 20

x = 34

leonid [27]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Anode;

Sn(s) ------> Sn^2+(aq) + 2e

Cathode;

Mn^2+(aq) + 2e ------> Mn(s)

The minimum voltage required to drive the reaction is the cell voltage. The cell voltage is obtained from;

E°cell= E°cathode - E°anode

E°cell= -1.19 - (-0.14)

E°cell= -1.05 V
