Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The power output of the cell, in watts needs to be calculated if the area of the cell is
Concept introduction:
Solar energy is referred to as the process capturing the energy from the sun and subsequently converting it into electricity.
Electricity energy is the form of energy resulting from the flow of electric charge.
Energy conversion concept is changing energy from one form to another.
The area can be defined as space occupied by a flat shape or the surface of an object
Unit-square.
(b)
Interpretation:
The amount of current delivered by cell with voltage 0.45 V needs to be determined.

- An aqueous solution of AICI3 is electrolyzed for 1.50 hours producing 5.45 g of aluminum. What is the current used in this electrolytic cell?arrow_forwardSimply by living, an 87.5 kg human being will consume approximately 20.0 mol of 0, per day. To provide energy for the human, the O, is reduced to H,0 duing food oxidation by the reaction O, + 4H+ + 4 e 2H,0 2. Determine the current generated by the human per day. In this case, the current is defined as the flow of electrons (e-) to O, from the food the human consumes. I = A Reduction of O, can occur by a donation of electrons from nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH). When this occurs, the electrons experience a potential drop of 1.10 V. Determine the power output from the 87.5 kg human. P = Warrow_forwardIn the industrial "chlor-alkali" process, pure chlorine and sodium hydroxide are produced by electrolyzing brine, essentially an aqueous solution of sodium chloride. Suppose a current of 20.0 A is passed through an aqueous solution of NaCl for 71.0 seconds. Calculate the mass of pure chlorine produced. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.
