Explanation

• Silver ions gain one electron to form silver metal. Ag⁺ + e⁻ → Ag.
• Depositing 1 mole of Ag requires 1 mole of electrons.
• One mole of electrons carries approximately 96,485 Coulombs, known as 1 Faraday.

Explanation

• Thermodynamics studies the relationship between heat, temperature, energy, and work.

Additional information:

• First law: Energy cannot be created or destroyed (Law of energy conservation)
• Second law: Heat flows from hot to cold spontaneously
• Third law: Absolute zero cannot be reached
• Zeroth law: Establishes temperature measurement
• Applications: Engines, refrigerators, heat pumps, and power plants

Explanation

Definition: Possess both magnitude and direction.

Representation: Represented by arrows, where the length indicates magnitude and the arrowhead indicates direction.

Examples: 

• Displacement
• Velocity
• Acceleration
• Force
• Momentum

Additional information 

Difference from Scalars: Unlike scalars, which only have magnitude (e.g., speed), vectors require both to be fully defined

Explanation

• Gamma rays have very high penetrating power.
• They can penetrate deeply into the body and damage cells and DNA.
• The actual danger depends on the radiation dose and exposure conditions
