Answer to Problem 1QP

The difference between oxidation and reduction electrochemical reactions is explained as below:

Explanation of Solution

Electrochemical reaction is the process that involves electron transfer between two substances mostly a metal and an electrolyte. It includes oxidation and reduction reactions that occur simultaneously. Oxidation reaction involves loss of electrons by a molecule or an atom to form a cation. This causes increase in oxidation state. Reduction reaction involves gain of electrons by an atom to form an anion. This causes decrease in oxidation state. Thus, the basic difference between oxidation and reduction electrochemical reaction involve loss and gain of electrons in an atom, respectively.

(b)

To determine

To explain:

Which reaction (oxidation and reduction) occurs at anode and which at the cathode?

(b)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 1QP

The reaction (oxidation and reduction) occurs at anode and at the cathode is explained as below.

Explanation of Solution

Oxidation and reduction reactions occur at electrodes. Anode refers to negative electrode and cathode refers to positive electrode. Oxidation takes place at the anode as it involves loss of electrons. Reduction takes place at the cathode as it involves gain of electrons.

Z c2 combine together forming a two-stage "band- reject" filter, so called because it rejects a "band" (aka range) of frequencies. This circuit topology is also commonly referred to as a "band-stop" filter or "notch" filter. The output of the DAB receiver block has been approximated via Thevenin's theorem for you as a voltage source Vs (t) and associated series impedance Z RI To succeed in our goal, we are going to use an iterative design approach. First we will design the interference rejector, and then repeat the process, using the output of the interference rejector to check the provided waveform converter works as intended.
1. What is the settling time for your output signal (BRF_OUT)? For this question, We define the settling time as the period of time it has taken for the output to settle into a steady state - ie when your oscillation first decays (aka reduces) to less than approximately 1/20 (5%) of the initial value.     (a) Settling time
