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)

How are sound waves and EM waves alike? How are they different?
Hatshy [7]
Sound waves are longitudinal waves that is, are transmitted in the same direction of oscillation of the particles in the medium. Electromagnetic waves are transverse ie, the electric and magnetic fields, which are perpendicular to each other, oscillate perpendicularly to the direction of wave propagation.

Why does the density of a substance stay constant even if the mass of the substance increases?
olganol [36]

Answer:

If the mass stays constant the object's density decreases as the volume increases. ... Because the property of density is a constant for all variables, density can be used to identify the material an object is made of.

Which of the following statements is true?
dybincka [34]

Answer:C

Explanation:

A process is called spontaneous if the process takes place on its own without the intervention of external factors.

The spontaneous processes are generally quick with observable rates of reaction.But processes can be spontaneous even with negligible rates of reaction.

Spontaneity of reactions depend on temperature.

This is because spontaneity is measured by gibbs energy or enthalpy.

Both of these measures are dependent on temperature.

So,temperature affects spontaneity.
