A battery charger used to recharge the NiMH batteries used in a digital camera can deliver as much as 0.35 A of current. If it takes 145 minutes to recharge one battery, how many g Ni(OH)2 are oxidized to NiO(OH)

The amount that oxidized to NiO(OH) is = 1.46 gm

Explanation:

Given data

Current I = 0.35 A

Time taken = 145 min

We know that charge

Q = I t

Q = 0.35 × 145 × 60

Q = 3045 C

Faraday's constant = 96500 C

No. of  moles of electron

N = 0.03155

1 mol of is oxidized by 2 moles of electrons,  so no. of moles can be oxidized is

= 0.015775 moles

Now convert this moles into gm by multiplying 92.708

0.015775 × 92.708 = 1.46 gm

Therefore the amount that oxidized to NiO(OH) is = 1.46 gm

the ozone layer acts as a filter for the shorter wavelength and highly hazardous ultraviolet radiation (uvr) from the sun, protecting life on earth from its potentially harmful effects. when the sky is clear, there is an inverse relationship between stratospheric ozone and solar uvr measured at the earth's surface.
