Answer:

Cd²⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻ → Cd(s)

Mg(s) → Mg²⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻

Cd²⁺(aq) + Mg(s) → Cd(s) + Mg²⁺(aq)

Explanation:

A voltaic cell is composed of two half-reactions:

Reduction (cathode): Cd²⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻ → Cd(s)

Oxidation (anode): Mg(s) → Mg²⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻

Cd²⁺ reduces to Cd (the oxidation number decreases from 2 to 0), whereas Mg oxidizes to Mg²⁺ (the oxidation number increases from 0 to 2). We can get the overall cell reaction by adding both half-reactions:

Cd²⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻ + Mg(s) → Cd(s) + Mg²⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻

Cd²⁺(aq) + Mg(s) → Cd(s) + Mg²⁺(aq)

What technology can make coal a cleaner fuel? fluidized-bed combustion building smoke stacks taller implementing a prewash of co
anastassius [24]
Answer : The technology that can make coal a cleaner fuel is to use lower quality of coal with high sulfur content.

Explanation : Using lower quality of coal with high amount of sulfur in it can make coal a cleaner fuel because of high amount of sulfur it will have better combustion.

During beta-oxidation of fatty acids, ___________ is produced in peroxisomes but not in mitochondria. A) acetyl-CoA B) FADH 2 C)
stepan [7]

Answer:

The correct option is D

Explanation:

Normally, beta-oxidation of fatty acid occurs in the mitchondrial matrix, however, when the fatty acid chains are too long, the beta-oxidation occurs in the peroxisomes <u>where the oxidation is not attached to ATP synthesis but rather transferred (i.e high energy electrons are transferred) to O₂ to form hydrogen peroxide</u> (H₂O₂). This is the major difference between the beta-oxidation that occurs in the peroxisomes to that which occurs in the mitochondria.

At a particular temperature, 12.0 moles of so3 is placed into a 3.0-l rigid container, and the so3 dissociates by the reaction 2
saul85 [17]
            2 SO₃ --> 2 SO₂ + O₂
I             12             0          0
C           -2x           +2x      +x
---------------------------------------------
E         12-2x          2x         x

Since the moles of SO₂ at equilibrium is 3 mol, 2x = 3. Then, x = 1.5 mol. So, the amounts at equilibrium is:
SO₃: 12 - 2(1.5) = 9
SO₂: 2(1.5) = 3
O₂: 1.5

The formula for K basing on the stoichiometric reaction is:
K = [SO₂]²[O₂]/[SO₃]² 
where the unit used is conc in mol/L.

K = [3 mol/3 L]²[1.5 mol/3 L]/[9 mol/3 L]²
<em>K = 0.0556</em>
