Remember the acronym "Oil Rig". Oxidation is loss, Reduction is gain of electrons. Calcium is losing electrons so it's an oxidation reaction.
Answer:
138.96kJ is the maximum electrical work
Explanation:
The maximum electrical work that can be obtained from a cell is obtained from the equation:
W = -nFE
<em>Where W is work in Joules,</em>
<em>n are moles of electrons = 2mol e- because half-reaction of Zn is:</em>
Zn(s) → Zn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻
F is faraday constant = 96500Coulombs/mol
E is cell potential = 0.72V
Replacing:
W = -2mol*96500Coulombs/mol*0.72V
W = - 138960J =
<h3>138.96kJ is the maximum electrical work</h3>

There's 6.022×10^23 particles in 1 mole of anything
like there is 1000 grams in 1 kilogram of anything
