What are the applications of electrochemicalseries or e.m.f. series in (1) Determining relative strength of oxidisingagent in terms of E^(@) values.

Answer»

Solution :The applications of electrochemical series (or ELECTROMOTIVE series) are as follows :
(1) Relative strength of oxidising agents in TERMS of `E_("red")^(@)` values : The `E_("call")^(@)`value is a MEASURE of the tendencyif the SPECIES to be reduced i.e., accept electrons and act as oxidising AGENT. The species mentioned on left hand side of the half reactions are oxidising agents.
The substances in the upparpositions in the seriesand hence in the upper left side of the halfreactionshave large positive `E_("red")^(@)` values hence are stronger oxidisingagents. For example, `F_(2), Ce^(4+),Au^(3+)`, etc. As we move down the series, the oxidisingpower decreases . Hence from the position of the elements in the electrochemical series, oxidising agents can be selected.

What is kg-mole ? Find out the total number of electrons in a kg-mole of O_(2).

Answer»

Solution :One kg-MOLE (or simply called one kilomole, i.e., kmol) is the MOLECULAR mass of the substance expressed in kilograms. In CGS system, one gram mole of a substance contains Avogadro's number of particles `(6.022xx10^(23))`. In MKS system, one kg-mole of a substance contains Avogadro's number of particles but its value is `6.022xx10^(25)`. THUS, 1 kg-mole of `O_(2)` will contain `6.022xx10^(26)` molecules and hence `16xx6.022xx10^(26)` ELECTRONS (as one molecules of `O_(2)` contains 16 electrons).
