XY (molten ) `hArrX^(n+)+Y^(n-)` Oxidation at anode : `Y^(n-)-"ne"^(-)rarrY` Reduction at cathode `X^(n+)+" ne"^(-)rarrX` In order to predict the electrolytic products accurately an array of substances is arranged in decreasing order tendency of oxidation of the substances or increasing order of standard reducton potential in electrochemical series. the standard electrode potentials of some species (elements,or ions) is given as under. `Cl_(2)(g)+2e^(-)rarr2Cl^(-),E^(@)=1.360V` `Na^(+)+e^(-)rarrNa,E^(@)=-2.71V` `2H_(2)O+e^(-)rarrH_(2)(g)+2OH^(-),E^(@)=-0.83V` `2H^(+)+2e^(-) rarrH_(2),E^(@)=OV` When aqueous solution of 100mL of 1M NaCl is electrolysed using Pt electrodes then answer the following question.

In Castner `-` Kellner cell for the manufacture of `NaOH(` caustic soda `), Hg` acts as cathode as well as anode.

Answer» Correct Answer - T
This cell is also called mercurry cathode cell. In this cell, `Hg` flows along the bottom of the cell and acts as cathode in the left hand compartment fitted with graphite anodes in brine `(NaCl)` solution, whereas the right hand compartment is fitted with `Fe` cathodes dippped in very dilute `NaOH` solution and `Hg` acts as anode in this compartment. Thus `Hg` acts as an intermediate electrode by induction, cathode on `LHS` and anode in `RHS.`

The standard reduction potentials of `Cu^(2+)//Cu` and `Ag^(+)//Ag` electrodes are 0.337 volt and 0.799 volt respectively. Construct a galvanic cell using these electrodes so that its standard e.m.f. is positive. For what concentration of `Ag^(+)`, will the e.m.f. of the cell at `25^(@)C` be zero if the concentration of `Cu^(2+)` is 0.01 M.

Answer» Given, `E_(Cu^(2+)//Cu)^(@)=0.337` volt and `E_(Ag^(+)//Ag)^(@)=0.799` volt. The standard emf will be positive if `Cu//Cu^(2+)` is anode and `Ag^(+)//Ag` is cathode. The cell can be represented as :
`Cu|Cu^(2+)||Ag^(+)|Ag`
The cell reaction is,
`cu+2Ag^(+) rarr Cu^(2+)+2Ag`
`E_(cell)^(@)=` Oxid. potential of anode + Red. potential of cathode
`=-0.337+0.799`
`=0.462` volt
Applying the Nernst equation,
`E_(cell)=E_(cell)^(@)-0.0591/2"log" ([Cu^(2+)])/([Ag^(+)]^(2))`
or `"log" ([Cu^(2+)])/([Ag^(+)]^(2))=(0.462xx2)/0.0591=15.6345`
`([Cu^(2+)])/([Ag^(+)]^(2))=4.3102xx10^(15)`
`[Ag^(+)]^(2)=0.01/(4.3102xx10^(15))`
`=0.2320xx10^(-17)`
`=2.320xx10^(-18)`
`[Ag^(+)]=1.523xx10^(-9) M`

The standard reduction potentials of `Cu^(2+)//Cu` and `Ag^(+)//Ag` electrodes are 0.337 volt and 0.799 volt respectively. Construct a galvanic cell using these electrols so that its standard e.m.f. is positive. For what concentration of `Ag^(+)`, will the e.m.f. of the cell at `25^(@)C` be zero if the concentration of `Cu^(2+)` is 0.01 M.

Answer» `E_(cell)^(@)=E_(cathode)^(@)-E_(anode)^(@)`
=0.799-0.337=0.462 V
Applying Nernst equation ,
`E_(cell)=E_(cell)^(@)-(0.0591)/(n)"log"([Anode])/([Cathode])`
Given `" " E_(cell)^(@)=0.462 V , E_(cell)=zero , n=2, [Cu^(2+)]=0.01 M`
`0=0.462-(0.0591)/(2)"log"([Cu^(2+)])/([Ag^(+)]^(2))=0.462-0.02955" log"([Cu^(2+)])/([Ag^(+)]^(2)`
`"log"([Cu^(2+)])/([Ag^(+)]^(2))=(0.462)/(0.02955)=15.6345`
`([Cu^(2+)])/([Ag^(+)]^(2)) ="Antilog" 15.6345=4.3102xx10^(15)`
`[Ag^(+)]^(2)=(0.01)/(4.3102xx10^(15))=0.2320xx10^(-17)`
`[Ag^(+)]=(0.2320xx10^(-17))^(1//2)=(2.320xx10^(-18))^(1//2)=1.523xx10^(-9) M`.
