Show half cell equation and dimensional analysis.

AI Thread Summary
To determine the maximum number of moles of In that can be deposited at the cathode when 0.060 Faraday is passed through the electrolytic cell, Faraday's electrolysis law is applied. The half-cell reaction for the reduction of In +3 ions is In^3+ + 3e- → In, indicating that three moles of electrons are required to deposit one mole of In. Therefore, the amount of In deposited can be calculated using the relationship between Faraday's constant and the number of moles of electrons. The calculation shows that 0.060 Faraday corresponds to a maximum of 0.020 moles of In deposited at the cathode. Understanding the half-cell equation and dimensional analysis is crucial for solving this problem effectively.

I actually was just confused about this problem. I originally thought I should use half cell redox but now I don't know what I can use. If I should use half cell just tell me and I can do it. If there is another method could you get me started or guide me through? Thanks!

X+ + e- -------> X

you need 1F of electricity for this reaction to occur, 1mol X+ to be converted to 1 mol X.
 
Faraday's electrolysis law. Not that it states anything else that Kushal wrote.

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...

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...
