Write the half-reactions as they occur at each electrode and the net cell reaction for this electrochemical cell containing indi

AlexFokin [52]

Explanation:

The given cell reaction is as follows.

$In(s)| In^{3+}(aq) || Cd^{2+}(aq) | Cd(s)$

Hence, reactions taking place at the cathode and anode are as follows.

At anode ; Oxidation-half reaction : $In(s) \rightarrow In^{3+}(aq) + 3e^{-}$ ...... (1)

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

Hence, balance the half reactions by multiplying equation (1) by 2 and equation (2) by 3.

Therefore, net cell reaction is as follows.

$2In(s) \rightarrow 2In^{3+}(aq) + 6e^{-}$

$3Cd^{2+}(aq) + 6e^{-} \rightarrow 3Cd(s)$

Net reaction: $2In(s) + 3Cd^{2+}(aq) \rightarrow 2In^{3+}(aq) + 3Cd(s)$

Thus, we can conclude that the overall cell reaction is as follows.

$2In(s) + 3Cd^{2+}(aq) \rightarrow 2In^{3+}(aq) + 3Cd(s)$

If the starting volume of a hot air balloon is 55,500 m3and the initial temperature is 21 °C, what is the temperature inside the

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

T₂ = 392 K

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial volume of the hot air balloon, V₁ = 55500 m³

Initial temperature, T₁ = 21°C = 294 K

Final volume, V₂ = 74000 m³

We need to find the final temperature inside the balloon. The relation between the temperature and volume is given by charles law i.e.

$\dfrac{V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}$

Where

T₂ is the final temperature

So,

$\dfrac{V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}\\\\T_2=\dfrac{T_1V_2}{V_1}\\\\T_2=\dfrac{294\times 74000 }{55500 }\\\\T_2=392\ K$

So, the new temperature is 392 K.

Explain the Doppler effect using light. Why is the Doppler effect important in astronomy?

Alexeev081 [22]

Doppler effect is the compression or extension of a sound wave, which causes a change in its wavelength / frequency (and so its sound).
Explanation: It is defined as the effect produced by a moving source of waves in which there is an upward shift in frequency for observers, the source is moving towards and downward shift of frequency from which the source is moving away. used to tell if an object in space is moving toward or away from us.

What’s the SI unit of the amount of isopropyl alcohol in a beaker?

Illusion [34]

Answer:

mole

Explanation:

The mole in chemistry is used to represent the amount of any substance. Just like quantifying everyday things like a dozen, score, gross etc, it is a convenient unit of quantity of particles. A mole denotes 6.02 x 10²³particles of a susbstance.

Therefore, a mole is the standard unit(SI) for the amount of isopropyl alcohol in a beaker.
