Answer to Problem 1QAP

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 1QAP

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.

3. Tong and Anderson (1996) obtained for BSA the following data in a polyacrylamide gel for the partition coefficient (K) as a function of the gel volume fraction (4). The BSA they used had a molecular weight of 67,000, a molecular radius of 3.6 nm, and a diffusivity of 6 × 10-7 cm2 s-1. Compare the Ogston equation K=exp + to their data and obtain an estimate for the radius of the cylindrical fibers (af) that comprise the gel. Hint: You will need to plot Ink as a function of gel volume fraction as part of your analysis. Please include your MATLAB, or other, code with your solution.

Assignment 10, Question 4, Problem Book #202 Problem Statement An ideal Brayton cycle with a two-stage compressor, a two-stage turbine, and a regenerator operates with a mass flow rate of 25 kg/s. The regenerator cold inlet is at 490 K and its effectiveness is 60%. Ambient conditions are 90 kPa and 20°C. The intercooler operates at 450 kPa and the reheater operates at 550 kPa. The temperature at the exit of the combustion chamber is 1,400 K. Heat is removed in the intercooler at a rate of 2.5 MW and heat is added in the reheater at a rate of 10 MW. Determine the thermal efficiency and the back work ratio. Use a cold air standard analysis with cp = 1.005 kJ/(kg K) and k = 1.4. .
