Question
6.What is true about electric potential and electrolytic cells?
A.Electrolytic cells depend on an outside source of electricity to cause electrons to flow in the opposite direction.
B.Electrolytic cells use the chemical energy from spontaneous redox reactions to generate electrical energy.
C.All electrochemical cells have a positive electric potential; therefore, electrolytic cells also have positive electric potentials.
D.The electric potential of an electrolytic cell may be negative or positive, depending on the electrodes.

Suppose you had allowed your dialysis experiment to continue for several days (with the beaker covered to prevent evaporation). At the end of that time period, you cut open the dialysis bag and pour the contents of the sausage into a clean beaker. If you were to test that sausage solution, what would you expect to be present in it? Why? C. OSMOSIS WITH AN ARTIFICIAL MEMBRANE b. a. Procedure For this experiment you will be making three more dialysis tubing sausages. This time fill all three sausages with 10 ml of a 10 percent sucrose solution. After you tie off each sausage, remember to trim off any excess floss and tubing and to rinse the sausage in tap water and pat it dry with a paper towel. Now, weigh each sausage using a triple beam balance and record the weights in the Results section below. Be su to keep track of which weight corresponds to which sausage. Place the first 100 ml labeled beaker filled with distilled water. Place the second sausage in a 100 ml sausage in labeled…arrow_forwardWhat is the independent variable of the experiment?arrow_forward
