~c. bridge
~d. battery
-Part of a voltaic cell in which either oxidation or reduction occurs (a)***
-A voltaic cell in which the electrolyte is a paste.(b)***
-A tube containing a strong electrolyte.(c)***
-Is a group of cells connected together.(d)***
all correct.
thanks!
To match the terms with their appropriate descriptions:
a. half-cell: Part of a voltaic cell in which either oxidation or reduction occurs. This refers to one of the two compartments in a voltaic cell where either the oxidation or reduction half-reaction takes place.
b. dry-cell: A voltaic cell in which the electrolyte is a paste. This type of cell typically uses a paste or gel electrolyte instead of a liquid electrolyte, making it more portable and leak-proof.
c. bridge: A tube containing a strong electrolyte. This term is not properly matched with any of the given descriptions. A bridge, in the context of electrochemistry, typically refers to a salt bridge or an ion-conducting bridge that connects the two half-cells of a voltaic cell, allowing the flow of ions to maintain charge balance.
d. battery: A group of cells connected together. This refers to a collection of voltaic cells connected in series or parallel to provide a higher voltage and/or longer-lasting power source.
