A cell, `Ag|Ag^(o+)||Cu^(2+)|Cu` , initially contains `1 M Ag^(o+)` and `1M Cu^(2+)` ions. Calculate the change in the cell the potential after the passage of `9.65A` of current for `1h.`

Answer» Note that given cell will not work as electrochemical cell since `E_(OP_(Cu))^(@)gtE_(OP_(Ag))^(@)`. The equation electrochemical cell will be:
`CurarrCu^(2+)+2e`
`2Ag^(+)+2erarr2Ag`
Thus, e.m.f of cell `Cu|Cu^(2+)"||"Ag^(+)|Ag` will be
`E_(cell)=E_(OP_(Cu))^(@)+E_(RP_(Ag))^(@)+(0.059)/(2)log_(10).([Ag^(+)]^(2))/([Cu^(2+)])`
`because[Ag^(+)]="1M and"[Cu^(2+)]=1M`
`thereforeE_(cell)=E_(cell)^(@)+(0.059)/(2)log_(10).(1)/(1)`
`E_(cell)=E_(cell)^(@)("where E"_(cell)^(@)=E_(OP_(Cu))^(@)+E_(RP_(Ag))^(@))`
After the passage of `9.65` ampere for 1 hr, i.e., `9.65xx60xx60` coulomb charge, during which the cell reaction it reversed thus, `Cu^(2+)` are discharged from solution and AG metal passes to ionic state.
The reaction during passage of current are:
`Cu^(2+)+2erarrCu`
`2Agrarr2Ag^(+)+2e`
`Ag^(+)` ions formed
`=(9.65xx60xx60)/(96500)eq.=0.36eq. =0.18"mole"`
Thus, `[Ag^(+)]_("left")=1+0.36=1.36M`
`[Cu^(2+)]_("left")=1-0.18=0.82M`
Thus, new cell is `Cu|{:(Cu^(2+)),(0.82M):}||{:(Ag^(+)),(1.36M):}|Ag`
Thus, `E_(cell)=E_(cell)^(@)+(0.059)/(2)log_(10).((1.36)^(2))/((0.82))`
`=E_(cell)^(@)+0.010"volt"`
Thus, `E_(cell)` increases by `0.010V`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
`lambda=(Kxx1000)/(m)`
`=(G^(**)xx1000)/("R m")=(0.1925xx1000)/(400xx[(5xx10^(-3))/(2)])=(192.5xx2)/(2000xx10^(-3))=192.5`

Can you store `CuSO_(4)` solution in `Zn` pot ?

Answer» Since the standard reduction potential of Zn is less than that of copper, hence zinc metal will reduce `Cu^(2+)` ions present in aqueous solution of copper sulphate. Thus, we can not store copper sulphate solution in a vessel of zinc.
`Zn(s)+CuSO_(4)(aq)hArrZnSO_(4)(aq)+Cu`
`E_("Redox process")^(0)=E_("Reducedspecies")^(0)-E_("Oxidisedspecies")^(0)`
`=+0.34-(-0.76)=+1.10V`
Positive value of `E^(@)` confirms that above redox process is spontaneous and hence we cannot store copper sulphate solution in a vessel of zinc.

We have taken a saturated solution of `AgBr,K_(sp)` of AgBr is `12xx10^(-14)`. If `10^(-7)` "mole" of `AgNO_(3)` are added to 1 litre of this solution then the conductivity of this solution in terms of `10^(-7) Sm^(-1)` units will be: [Given: `lambda_((Ag^(+)))^(@)=4xx10^(-3)Sm^(2)"mol"^(-1),lambda_((Br^(-)))^(@)=6xx10^(-3) S m^(2) "mol"^(-1),lambda_((NO_(3)^(-)))^(@)=5xx10^(-3)Sm^(2) "mol"^(-1)`]

Answer» Suppose the solubility `AgBr` in
`10^(-7) AgNO_(3)` is `S moL^(-1)`
`{:(therefore" "underset("S mol L"^(-1))(AgBr) underset(larr)rarr Aunderset(S)g^(+) +Bunderset(S)r^(-)),(therefore" "underset(10^(-7)M)(AgNO_(3))underset(larr)rarrunderset(10^(-7)M)(Ag^(+))+underset(10^(-7)M)(NO_(3)^(-))):}`
Taking `[Ag^(+)] = (S+10^(-7))M`
`K_(sp)` of `AgBr = [Ag^(+)[ [Br^(-)]`
`12 xx 10^(-14) = (S +10^(-7)) (S) = S^(2) +10^(-7)S`
`S^(2) + 10^(-7)S - 12 xx 10^(-14) = 0`
On solving, `S = 3 xx 10^(-7)M`
`[Br^(-)] = 3 xx 10^(-7) M = 3 xx 10^(-7) xx 10^(3) mol//m^(3)`
`= 3 xx 10^(-4) mol//m^(3)`
Hence,
`[Ag^(+)] = (3 xx 10^(-7) +10^(-7)) M = 4 xx 10^(-4) mol//m^(3)`
`[NO_(3)^(-)] = 10^(-7)M = 10^(-7) xx 10^(+3) = 1 xx 10^(=4)m^(3)`
`: lambda = (k)/(c)` or `k = lambda xx c`
`:. k_(Br^(-)) = 3 xx 10^(-4) xx 8 xx 10^(-3) Sm^(-1) = 24 xx 10^(-7) S m^(-1)`
`k_(Ag^(+)) = 4 xx 10^(-4) xx 6 xx 10^(-3) Sm^(-1) = 24 xx 10^(-7) S m^(-1)`
`k_(NO_(3)^(-)) = 1 xx 10^(-4) xx 7 xx 10^(-3) = 7 xx 10^(-7) S m^(-1)`
`K_("total") = k_(Br^(-)) +K_(Ag^(+)) +K_(NO_(3)^(-))`
Specific conductivity of solution
`= (24 xx 10^(-7) +24 xx 10^(-7) +7 xx 10^(-7)) Sm^(-1)`
`= 55 xx 10^(-7) Sm^(-1)`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
`Fe^(2+)+2e^(-)rarrFe, E^(@)=-0.44V`
`pb^(2+)+2e^(-)rarrpb , E^(@)=-0.13V`
`Ag^(+)+e^(-)rarrAg,E^(@)=+0.8V`
`Cu^(2+)+2e^(-)rarrCu, E^(@)=+0.34V`
SRP values of pb, Ag, Cu are higher than Fe. So, pb, Ag, Cu oxidises Fe

Assertion`(A):` Whne acidified `ZnSO_(4)` solution is electrolyzed between `Zn` electrodes, it is `Zn` that is deposited at the cathode and `H_(2)(g)` is not evolved. Reason `(R):` The electrode potential of `Zn` is more negative than hydrogen as the overpotential for hydrogen evolution in `Zn` is quite large.A. S is correct but E is wrongB. S is wrong but E is correntC. Both S and E are correct and E is corrent explanation of S.D. Both S and E are correct but E is not correct explanation of S
