Standard hydrogen electrode acts as both anode and cathode.Explain.​

Chemistry

Vlad [161]3 years ago

Answer:

A Standard Hydrogen Electrode is an electrode that scientists use for reference on all half-cell potential reactions. The value of the standard electrode potential is zero, which forms the basis one needs to calculate cell potentials using different electrodes or different concentrations. It is important to have this common reference electrode, just as it is important for the International Bureau of Weights and Measures to keep a sealed piece of metal that is used to reference the S.I. Kilogram.

Answer:

The role of an electrode as cathode or anode depends on the nature and electrode potential of the other electrode with which it forms the complete electrochemical cell.

When a cell is to be made with zinc electrode and hydrogen electrode, the hydrogen electrode will behave as a cathode and the zinc electrode will behave as anode because zinc is present above hydrogen in the activity series. That is zinc is more electropositive than hydrogen.

If the cell is made with a copper electrode and hydrogen electrode, the hydrogen electrode will behave as anode and the copper electrode as a cathode. This is due to the fact that Cooper is present below hydrogen in the activity series. Copper is less electropositive than hydrogen.

ValentinkaMS [17]

C) landslides.

Explanation:

Landslides is not a way in which mountains are built on earth. It is a destructive process in nature that causes the slumping and wasting of land masses.

Landslide is a form of mass wasting and does no build masses.

Volcanoes helps to build mountains on the crust and this way, igneous rocks are formed.

Deposition process upbuilds to form sedimentary rocks.

Faulting is a can also be a constructive process that builds a mountain in the case of horsts and graben

How many molecules are in 1.5 moles of carbon dioxide
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

<h2>9.03 × 10²³ molecules</h2>

Explanation:

The number of molecules can be found by using the formula

N = n × L

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question we have

N = 1.5 × 6.02 × 10²³

We have the final answer as

<h3>9.03 × 10²³ molecules</h3>

Hope this helps you

A steel block has a volume of 0.08 m³ and a density of 7,840 kg/m³. What is the force of gravity acting on the block (the weight
Rama09 [41]
Correct Answer: Option a. 6150.64 N

Weight (w) is defined as:

w = mg

So, first we need to find the mass (m) of the steel block using its volume and density.

Mass = Density x Volume 
So,
m = 0.08 x 7840 = 627.2 g

Using value of m and g = 9.807, we get

w = 627.2 x 9.807 = 6150.95 Newtons

Therefore, option a is the correct answer. 
The slight difference is because the value of g is rounded of to 3 decimal cases.

What is the percent composition of MgO2H2
zhannawk [14.2K]

41.38 % Mg

55.17 % O

3.45 % H

Explanation:

What is the percent composition of magnesium hydroxide Mg(OH)₂?

To find the percent composition we follow the next algorithm.

First we calculate the molar mass of Mg(OH)₂:

molar mass of Mg(OH)₂ = molar mass of Mg × 1 + molar mass of O × 2 + molar mass of H × 2

molar mass of Mg(OH)₂ = 24 × 1 + 16 × 2 + 1 × 2 = 58 g/mole

Now we devise the next reasoning:

if in         58 g of Mg(OH)₂ there are 24 g of Mg, 32 g of O and 2 g of H

then in   100 g of Mg(OH)₂ there are X g of Mg, Y g of O and Z g of H

X = (100 × 24) / 58 = 41.38 % Mg

X = (100 × 32) / 58 = 55.17 % O

X = (100 × 2) / 58 = 3.45 % H
