**Equilibrium and Electrochemistry Concepts**

1. **Two Phases in Equilibrium:**
   - Two phases (A and B) are in equilibrium when:
     - \( a_A = a_B \)
     - \( \mu_A = \mu_B \)
     - \( \gamma_A = \gamma_B \)
     - \( P_A = P_B \)

2. **Definition of an Anode:**
   - The anode is defined as:
     - a) the positive electrode
     - b) the negative electrode
     - c) the electrode where oxidation occurs **(Correct Answer)**
     - d) the electrode where reduction occurs

3. **Galvanic Cell Reaction Spontaneity:**
   - For a galvanic cell:
     - \( E > 0 \) and the reaction is spontaneous.
     - **Option marked as correct: \( E < 0 \) and the reaction is not spontaneous.**

4. **Units of a First-Order Rate Constant:**
   - The correct units for a first-order rate constant are:
     - M\(^0.5\) s\(^{-1}\)
     - **Correct Answer: s\(^{-1}\)**
     - M s\(^{-1}\)

**Note:** The correct answers for definitions and unit-related questions are based on standard electrochemical and kinetics principles.
