In a nickel-cadmium battery (Nicad), cadmium is converted to Cd(OH)2 at one electrode, while Ni2O3 is converted to Ni(OH)2 at the other electrode. The battery is used in a portable CD player which draws 0.175 amp of current. If the CD player is used for an hour and a half, determine, the mass in grams of:
Cadmium metal which is converted cadmium(II) hydroxide
Nickel(III) oxide which is converted to nickel(II) hydroxide
Fill in the following brackets:
Redox reactions can also lead to greenhouse gas emissions from soils. Under very strongly reducing conditions (Eh < -0.1) the dominant GHG released from soils is likely ["carbon dioxide", or "methane", or "nitrous oxide", or "nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide"], whereas, at oxidizing conditions (Eh > +0.2) release of ["carbon dioxide", or "methane", or "nitrous oxide", or "nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide"] is more favorable.
