A certain half-reaction has a standard reduction potential -1.33V . An engineer proposes using this half-reaction at the anode o
Paha777 [63]

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.

A hollow conductor is positively charged. A small uncharged metal ball is lowered by a silk thread (insulating material) through
laiz [17]

Answer: Option (E) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Since, the conductor is hollow which means that it is opened on both the ends. Hence, when a small uncharged metal ball is passed through it with the help of a silk thread then due to the presence of this insulating thread the ball will not come directly in contact with the charged rod.

As a result, there will occur no formation of opposite charge on the metal ball. Therefore, the ball will remain uncharged in nature.

Thus, we can conclude that after the given ball is removed, it will have no appreciable charge.

A researcher is measuring changes in the density of the upper atmosphere over time. Which units should be used for the density m
valina [46]

Answer:

lbm/ft³ or psi/ft

Explanation:

The description in the question shows the density to measured is that of gases (upper atmosphere). The density of a gas can be described as the mass of the gas divided by the volume of the gas at a certain temperature and pressure. It's unit can be represented as lbm/ft³ or psi/ft.

NOTE:

"lbm" means "lean body mass" which is a unit for mass or weight and can be described as the pound mass

"psi" means "pound per square inch"; is also a unit for mass or weight
