An engineer attaches a piece of silver to the iron storage tank in an attempt to supply the tank with cathodic protection. a. Which has a higher reduction potential — silver or iron?
b. Which is the anode in this cell?
c. Which is the cathode in this cell?
d. Does attaching a piece of silver provide the iron storage tank with cathodic protection? Explain why or why not.
e. Name two metals that would provide the iron storage tank with cathodic protection.

Astudent made a graph plotting the progress of a reaction over time. the student forgot to label the y-axis of the graph. a graph is shown with two graph lines. one graph line starts at a higher position on the y axis and slopes downwards towards the right. the other graph line starts at a lower position on the y axis and slopes upwards towards the right. the two graph lines stop short of intersecting each other and continue as separate lines which gradually become straight and parallel to the x axis. a vertical line is shown at a point where the two graph lines finally became parallel to the x axis. this vertical line is labeled equilibrium. the title on the x axis is time and an arrow pointing towards the right is shown above time. the title on the y axis is left blank. what best explains the label that the student should use on the y-axis? amount, because as the amount of product decreases, the amount of reactant increases over time. reaction rate, because forward and backward reaction become equal at equilibrium. amount, because the amounts of reactants and products become constant after equilibrium is reached. reaction rate, as the rate of forward reaction increases and rate of backward reaction decreases over time.

16. why must the number of electrons lost equal the number of electrons gained in every redox reaction? use 3 – 4 sentences in your own words to address this question. 18. what type of radiation is emitted when chromium-51 decays into manganese-51? show the nuclear equation that leads you to this answer. 19. a radioactive nucleus alpha decays to yield a sodium-24 nucleus in 14.8 hours. what was the identity of the original nucleus? show the nuclear equation that leads you to this answer.

Electromagnets coils of wire paper clips picked up 10 3 15 6 20 9 25 12 ms. owens' class was studying magnets. ms. owens showed her students how to make an electromagnet using a nail, a d-cell battery, and plastic coated wire. the students wrapped the wire around the nail and then attached the ends to the battery. when they were finished, they tested their magnets by investigating how many paperclips their magnets could pick up. they also tested whether they could increase the strength of their electromagnets by using more coils of wire. they recorded the class average of their results in the data table seen here. ms. owens asked her students to graph their data in a line graph. how should the students label the x-axis on their line graph? a) size of battery b) number of paper clips c) number of coils of wire d) strength of electromagnet
