Answer:
actually pure water doesnt conduct electricity, any salts or impurities dissolved in water enable it to conduct electricity, When salts are dissolved in water, they separate into different electrically charged atoms called ions. Sodium chloride (NaCl), breaks up into positive Na ions and negative Cl ions.
In chemistry, there is a common note that says, "Like dissolves like".
This pertains to the concept that polar substances can dissolve only other polar substances. Also, nonpolar substances are also only able to dissolve nonpolar substances.
Polarity of the substance depends primarily on the type of bond and the difference in electronegativity.
Water is a polar substance while vegetable oil is not. From the concept presented above, it may be concluded that water will not be able to dissolve the vegetable oil and the assumption is logical.
Answer:
a. -0.63 V
b. No
Explanation:
Step 1: Given data
- Standard reduction potential of the anode (E°red): -1.33 V
- Minimum standard cell potential (E°cell): 0.70 V
Step 2: Calculate the required standard reduction potential of the cathode
The galvanic cell must provide at least 0.70V of electrical power, that is:
E°cell > 0.70 V [1]
We can calculate the standard reduction potential of the cathode (E°cat) using the following expression.
E°cell = E°cat - E°an [2]
If we combine [1] and [2], we get,
E°cat - E°an > 0.70 V
E°cat > 0.70 V + E°an
E°cat > 0.70 V + (-1.33 V)
E°cat > -0.63 V
The minimum E°cat is -0.63 V and there is no maximum E°cat.
I believe the a is the correct answer is d
