Explanation:

a) Anode:

Cathode :

c) As , the reaction is spontaneous.

Explanation:

a) Here Ni undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. Hydrogen undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

Anode:

Cathode :

b) The representation is given by writing the anode on left hand side followed by its ion with its molar concentration. It is followed by a slat bridge. Then the cathodic ion with its molar concentration is written and then the cathode.

Where both are standard reduction potentials.

= +ve, reaction is spontaneous

= -ve, reaction is non spontaneous

= 0, reaction is in equilibrium

Thus as , the reaction is spontaneous.

d) The standard emf of a cell is related to Gibbs free energy by following relation:

= standard gibbs free energy

n= no of electrons gained or lost

F= faraday's constant

= standard emf

Thus value of Gibbs free energy is -48250 Joules.

Harvey kept a balloon with a volume of 348 milliliters at 25.0˚C inside a freezer for a night. When he took it out, its new volu

ad-work [718]

Initial volume of the balloon = $V_{1}$ = 348 mL

Initial temperature of the balloon $T_{1}$ = $25.0^{0}C + 273 = 298 K$

Final volume of the balloon $V_{2}$ = 322 mL

Final temperature of the balloon = $T_{2} = ?$

According to Charles law, volume of an ideal gas is directly proportional to the temperature at constant pressure.

$\frac{V_{1} }{T_{1} } =\frac{V_{2} }{T_{2} }$

On plugging in the values,

$\frac{348mL}{298 K} =\frac{322 mL}{T_{2} }$

$T_{2} =276 K$

Therefore, the temperature of the freezer is 276 K

What role do hydrogen ions play in the electron transport chain high?

jeka94

They are pumped across the mitochondrial inner membrane against their concentration gradient (to where their concentration is high); as the H+ ions flow back to where their concentration is low, they drive ATP synthase to form ATP

Archy [21]

The concept used here is the Le Chatelier's principle. When a disturbance is introduced to the system, it favors the direction of reaction that minimizes the disturbance to regain equilibrium.

In endothermic reactions, the forward reaction is favored when the temperature is low. Otherwise, the reverse reaction is favored. When you add the amounts of substances on the reactant side, more products would formed favoring the forward reaction. If you increase concentration on the product side, you form more reactants so it would favor the reverse reaction. Lastly, since 10 moles of gases are needed in the reactant side, it would be favored during high pressure reaction.
