Electrochem Help: Reasons for Voltage Differences

AI Thread Summary
The voltage difference in a voltaic cell can be attributed to standard conditions not being met, including temperature, concentration, and pressure variations. Specifically, deviations from the ideal 25 degrees Celsius, 1M solution, and 1 atm pressure can impact the predicted voltage. Additionally, internal resistance within the cell can further reduce the operating voltage. These factors collectively explain the discrepancies observed in real-world applications compared to theoretical predictions. Understanding these reasons is crucial for accurate electrochemical analysis.

Homework Statement



State two reasons for the difference between the predicted voltage and the operating voltage of a voltaic cell.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Sorry, but nevermind

Read the previous page and it said the standard conditions for the reduction potential are:
25 degrees celcius
1M solution
1atm pressure

So obviously 2 of those result in the difference
 
Don't forget the internal resistance of the cell...
 

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
