Calculate the overpotential of an electrochemical cell where Zinc metal is used as an anode and Copper metal as a cathode. The concentration of Zinc ions in the half-cell is 1 M and Copper ions in the half-cell is 0.1 M. The temperature of the system is 25°C. (Given: Standard Reduction Potentials - Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Zn(s) = -0.76 V and Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Cu(s) = +0.34 V)

Calculate the monolayer capacity and specific surface area of a sample of silica gel using BET theory. The sample was found to have a weight of 2.56 g and a total surface area of 260 m²/g. The gas used for adsorption was nitrogen at a temperature of 77 K and a pressure range of 0.01-0.3 P/P₀. The plot of (P/P₀)/(V₀/V) versus P/P₀ generated a straight line with a slope of 4.2×10⁻³.
