Which shape has a larger area: a rectangle that is 7 inches by 3/4 inch, or a square with side length of 2 1/2 inches? show your reasoning.

A square with side length of 2 1/2 inches has a larger area than a rectangle that is 7 inches by 3/4 inches.

A rectangle has one side (a) of 7 in and the other side (b) of 3/4 in (0,75 in). The area of the rectangle is:

The square has a side length (l) of 2 1/2 in (2,5 in). The area of the square is:

A square with side length of 2 1/2 inches has a larger area than a rectangle that is 7 inches by 3/4 inches.

Answerthe half-reaction having the greatest tendency to occur at the anode:     i₂(aq) + 2e⁻  ⇄ 2i⁻  ;   e = +0.53 v======oxidation occurs at the anode. we must therefore find the half-reaction with the greatest tendency to oxidize.the given values of e are reduction potentials (the form of the half-reactions are of reduction).the lower the reduction potential, the higher the potential to oxidize. the half-cell with the lowest reduction potential will have the greatest tendency to oxidize at the anode.the half-reaction having the greatest tendency must be    i₂(aq) + 2e⁻  ⇄ 2i⁻    e = +0.53 vbecause its reduction potential is the lowest out of the three.
