Monica [59]

Answer : The balanced two-half reactions will be,

Oxidation half reaction (anode) : $Mg(s)\rightarrow Mg^{2+}(aq)+2e^-$

Reduction half reaction (cathode) : $Cd^{2+}(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow Cd(s)$

Thus the overall reaction will be,

$Mg(s)+Cd^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Mg^{2+}(aq)+Cd(s)$

Explanation :

Voltaic cell : It is defined as a device which is used for the conversion of the chemical energy produces in a redox reaction into the electrical energy. It is also known as the galvanic cell or electrochemical cell.

The given redox reaction occurs between the magnesium and cadmium.

In the voltaic cell, the oxidation occurs at an anode which is a negative electrode and the reduction occurs at the cathode which is a positive electrode.

The balanced two-half reactions will be,

Oxidation half reaction (anode) : $Mg(s)\rightarrow Mg^{2+}(aq)+2e^-$

Reduction half reaction (cathode) : $Cd^{2+}(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow Cd(s)$

Thus the overall reaction will be,

$Mg(s)+Cd^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Mg^{2+}(aq)+Cd(s)$

How much energy must be absorbed by water with a mass of 0.5 kg in order to raise the temperature from 30°C to 65°C? Note: Water

kvasek [131]

Answer:

73325J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of water = 0.5kg

Initial temperature = 30°C

Final temperature = 65°C

Specific heat capacity = 4190J/kg°C

Unknown:

Amount of energy absorbed = ?

Solution:

The amount of energy absorbed can be derived using the expression below;

H = m c Δt

H is the amount of energy

m is the mass

c is the specific heat

Δt is the change in temperature

H = 0.5 x 4190 x (65 - 30 )

H = 73325J
