What is an electrolytic cell?An electrolytic cell converts electrical energy into chemical energy or vice versa.
A galvanic cell is an electrochemical cell in which chemical energy is converted to electrical energy. The chemical reaction which drives a galvanic cell is a redox reaction i.e. a reduction-oxidation process.
A typical galvanic cell is composed of two electrodes immersed in a suitable electrolyte and connected via a salt bridge. One of the electrodes serves as a cathode where reduction or gain of electrons takes place. The other half cell functions as an anode where oxidation or loss of electrons occurs. Batteries and fuel cells are examples of galvanic cells.
Hence, option B is correct.

A chemist is identifying the elements present in a sample of seawater. What characteristic of an element’s atoms always determines the element’s identity?
Why is NCl3 not soluble in water?
Answer:
Explanation:
NCl3 does not dissolve in water because it is a nonpolar molecule which is different with water. NCl3 is nonpolar due to the difference in electronegativities between 3 atoms of Cl and 1 atom if N2.
Answer:
A polar solute dissolves into a polar solvent and a non-polar compound dissolves into a non-polar solvent, this rule is known as "like dissolves like".

If the atomic number of Lithium is 3 and its mass number is 7, how many protons, electrons, and neutrons does a neutral
atom of Li have
Answer:
Protons = 3
Neutrons = 4
Electrons = 3
Explanation:
For every atom, the atomic number is equal to the number of protons.
In a neutral atom (atom with no charge) the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.
To calculate neutrons subtract the number of protons (atomic number) from the rounded molar mass:
7 - 3 = 4 neutrons

In the given unbalanced reaction, the number of sodium is not balanced. There must have two sodium in the product side also. The correct formula of sodium sulphate is Na₂SO₄.
What is mass conservation law?According to the law of conservation of mass, the total mass of a system is conserved. Thus, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Therefore, for a chemical reaction, the total mass in the product side must be equal to the total mass in the reactant side.
The balanced equation of a chemical reaction thus, obeying the mass conservation law where, each element have to be equal in number in both sides.
In the given reaction, the number of Na in reactant side is 2 and that in product side is 1 only. Thus total mass of sodium is not conserved. It can be corrected as Na₂SO₄ in the product side.

What is the product of the synthesis reaction between calcium and iodine?
Answer:
The product of the synthesis reaction is CaI.
Explanation:
In chemistry, chemical equations are the representation of chemical reactions between elements, compounds, substances, or molecules.
They are written using element symbols (and sometimes including their current state of matter).
Therefore, if we wanted to show the reaction of sodium and chlorine to make sodium chloride, or table salt, we would illustrate it as such:
[tex]\bullet \ \text{Na + Cl} \rightarrow \text{NaCl}[/tex]
A synthesis reaction in chemistry is the combination of two or more elements, compounds, molecules, or substances to make one compound, molecule, or substance.
The parent equation for a synthesis reaction is:
[tex]\bullet \ \text{A + B}\rightarrow \text{AB}[/tex]
Therefore, we need to find out what the element symbols are for both calcium and iodine.
If we reference a periodic table, we will see that calcium is atomic number 20 and has the symbol Ca.
Additionally, when we locate iodine, we will see that it is atomic number 53 and has the atomic symbol I.
Now, we just need to create the reaction equation.
[tex]\text{Ca + I}\rightarrow \text{?}[/tex]
We know that we are dealing with a synthesis reaction, or a combination, so the elements will combine to make one substance.
With this information, we can make an equation:
[tex]\text{Ca + I} \rightarrow \text{CaI}[/tex]
Therefore, the product of the synthesis reaction is CaI.
Note: Please note that "I" is an uppercase i.

a wet 43.2 g sample of copper sulfate heptahydrate is heated until only copper sulfate remains. the mass of the water lost is 34.1 g. what is the mass of copper sulfate
Answer:
9.1g
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of copper sulfate heptahydrate = 43.2g
Mass of water lost = 34.1g
Unknown:
Mass of copper sulfate = ?
Solution
The copper sulfate heptahydrate is made up of the copper sulfate and water of crystallization which makes it wet.
Mass of copper sulfate heptahydrate = mass of copper sulfate + mass of water
Mass of copper sulfate = mass of copper sulfate heptahydrate - mass of water
Mass of copper sulfate = 43.2g - 34.1g = 9.1g
The mass of copper sulphate that is produce from a wet 43.2 g sample of copper sulphate heptahydrate that is heated until only copper sulphate remains (mass of water lost is 34.1 g) is 9.1 grams.
Using the law of conservation of matter, the mass of the reactant is equals to the mass of the product.
Therefore,
CuSO₄7H₂O → CuSO₄ + 7H₂O
mass of CuSO₄7H₂O = 43.2 g
mass of CuSO₄ = x
mass of H₂O = 34.1 g
mass of CuSO₄ = 43.2 - 34.1
mass of CuSO₄ = 9.1 g

A student wants to develop a model of an organism's cell that lacks chloroplasts. Which statement BEST explains how the lack of chloroplasts affects an organism?Your answer:An organism that lacks chloroplasts would not be able to convert sunlight into chemical energy through photosynthesis.An organism's cells would not be able to reproduce since the chloroplasts contain the genetic material.An organism that lacks chloroplasts would not be able to manufacture all the protein required by its cells
Recall that the main function of chloroplasts is to convert sunlight to chemical energy, or to carry out photosynthesis. Plant (and eukaryotic algae) cells contain these organelles, while animal cells do not, and hence, animals cannot carry out photosynthesis.
So, a lack of chloroplasts would mean that an organism would not be able to convert sunlight into chemical energy through photosynthesis.
Plants cells, and specifically the chloroplast organelle, are able to absorb sunlight, and together with CO₂ and water, produce glucose (for the plant to eat) and oxygen (which is released into the atmosphere). That glucose is further broken down by the plants' mitochondria. Animals directly consume the glucose to be broken down and converted into energy, hence why we do not have - nor need - chloroplasts in our cells.
