Convert the average temperatures for each collected data point given below from °C to K. Plot the average cell potentials E (y-axis) vs T (x-axis). The plot should be approximately linear. Add a trendline to find the best linear fit and write down the y-intercept and slope (b and m from the linear equation) for the trendline below. Average Temperature in °C - Average Cell Potential (V)

15 - 0.465
18 - 0.467
21 - 0.468
24 - 4.69
27 - 0.471
30 - 0.472
33 - 0.474

Explanation:

The equation of above line , y = 0.0005x+ 0.458

This can be compared with y = mx+c

Hence slope, m = 0.0005 and Y-intercept, c = 0.458

Or it can be plotted manually where straight line has to be drawn touching maximum number of data points. After drawing a straight linear line, we need to take any two points from the straight line and slope is calculated

Slope,

and y -intercept is calculated using extraplotting backwards such that it touches the Y-axis. the point where straight line touches Y-axis is Y-intercept (c).

explanation:

covalent bonds

consist of pairs of electrons shared by two atoms, and bind the atoms to fixed orientation and requre high energies to break them

ionic bonds

when two atoms differ considerably in their electronegativity, then one of the atoms will lose its electron to the other atom. this results in a positively charged ion(cation) and a negatively charged ion (anion)

since electrons are negative the answer is neagtaive
