What information is provided by measurement of conductivities of solutions?

Answer»
  • The conducting and nonconducting properties of solutions can be identified by the measurement of their conductivities.
  • The substances like sucrose and urea which do not dissociate in aqueous solutions have same conductivity as that of water. Hence they are nonelectrolytes.
  • The substances like KCl,CH3COOH, NaOH, etc. dissociate in their aqueous solutions and their conductivities are higher than water. Hence they are electrolytes.
  • On the basis of high or low electrical conductivity, the electrolytes can be classified as strong and weak electrolytes. The solutions of strong electrolytes have high conductivities while solutions of weak electrolytes have lower conductivities.

The emf `(E^(@))` of the following cels are : `Ag|Ag^(+) (1 M)||Cu^(2+) (1 M)|Cu, E^(@)=-0.46` volt `Zn|Zn^(2+) (1 M)||Cu^(2+) (1 M)|Cu, E^(@)=+1.10` volt Calculate the emf of the cell : `Zn|Zn^(2+) (1 M)||Ag^(+) (1 M)|Ag`

Answer» `Zn|Zn^(2+) (1 M)||Ag^(+) (1 M)|Ag`
`E_(cell)=E_(o x(Zn//Zn^(2+)))+E_(red (Ag^(+)//Ag))`
With the help of the following two cells, the above equation can be obtained :
`Ag|Ag^(+) (1 M)||Cu^(2+) (1M)|Cu, E^(@)=-0.46" volt"`
or `Cu|Cu^(2+) (1 M)||Ag^(+) (1 M) |Ag, E^(@)" will be "+0.46" volt"`
or `+0.46=E_("ox"(Cu//Cu^(2+)))+R_("red "(Ag^(+)//Ag))` ...(i)
`Zn|Zn^(2+) (1 M)||Cu^(2+)|Cu, E^(@)=+1.10" volt"`
`+1.10=E_(o x (Zn//Zn^(2+)))+E_(red (Cu^(2+)//Cu))` ...(ii)
Adding eqs. (i) and (ii),
`+1.56=E=E_("red "(Ag^(+)//Ag))+E_(o x (Zn//Zn^(2+)))+E_("red "(Cu^(2+)//Cu))`
since, `E_(o x(Cu//Cu^(2+)))=-E_("red "(Cu^(2+)//Cu))`
So, `+1.56=E_(o x (Zn//Zn^(2+)))+E_("red "(Ag^(+)//Ag))`
Thus, the emf of the following cell is
`Zn|Zn^(2+)(1 M)||Ag^(+) (1 M)|Ag` is `+ 1.56` volt

The standard oxidation potential potential of zinc is 0.76 volt and of silver is - 0.80 volt. Calculate the emf of the cell : `Zn|underset(0.25 M)(Zn(NO_(3))_(2))||underset(0.1 M)(AgNO_(3))|Ag` at `25^(@)C`.

Answer» The cell reaction is
`Zn+2Ag^(+) rarr 2Ag+Zn^(2+)`
`E_(o x)^(@)` of `Zn =0.76` volt
`E_("red")^(@)` of `Ag=0.80` volt
`E_(cell)^(@)=E_(o x)^(@)` of `Zn+E_("red")^(@)` of `Ag=0.76+0.80=1.56` volt
We know that, `E_(cell)=E_(cell)^(@)-0.0591/n"log" (["Products"])/(["Reactants"])`
`=E_(cell)^(@)-0.0591/2"log" 0.25/(0.1xx0.1)`
`=1.56-0.0591/2xx1.3979`
`=(1.56-0.0413)` volt `=1.5187` volt
Alternative method : First of all, the single electrode potentials of both the electrodes are determined on the basis of given concentrations.
`E_("ox (Zinc)")=E_(o x)^(@)-0.0591/2log 0.25`
`=0.76+0.0177=0.7777` volt
`E_("red (Silver)")=E_("red")^(@)+0.0591/1 log 0.1`
`=0.80-0.0591`
`=0.7409` volt
`E_("cell")=E_("ox (Zinc)")+E_("red (Silver)")`
`0.7777+0.7409`
`=1.5186` volt

Calculating the Gibbs Energy change from electrode Potentials: Using standard electrode potentials, clacu-late the standard Gibbs energy change at `25^(@)C` for the following cell reaction. Strategy: To calculate `DeltaG_("cell")^(@)`, we use the equation `DeltaG_("cell")^(@) = -nFE_("cell")^(@)`, where `E_("cell")^(@)` is obtained by using a table of standard potentails and `n` can be inferred from the balanced chemical equation. The cell reaction equals the sum of the half-cell reactions after they have been multiplied by factors so that the electrons cancel in the summation. Note that `n` is the number of electrons involved in each half-reaction.

Answer» The half-reactions, corresponding half-cell potentials, and their sums are displayed below
`{:(Zn(s)hArrZn^(2+)(aq., 1M)+2e^(-)" "E_(Zn//Zn^(2+))^(@)=0.76V),(2Ag^(+)(aq., 1M)=2e^(-)hArr 2Ag(s)" "E_(Ag^(+)//Ag)^(@) = 0.80 V),(bar(Zn(s)+2Ag^(+)(aq., 1M)hArr Zn^(2+)(aq.,1M)+2Ag(s)E_("cell")^(@)=1.56V)):}`
Note that each half-reaction involves two electrons, hence, `n = 2` Also, `E_("cell")^(@) = 1.56 V`, and the Faraday constant, `F`, is `9.65 xx 10^(4) C`. Therefore, the standard Gibbs energy change is
`DeltaE_("cell")^(@) = -nFE_("cell")^(@)`
`-(2 "mole"^(-))(96,500 C//mol e^(-)) (1.56 V) ((1 J)/(1 C. V))`
` = -3.01 xx 10^(5)J`, Recell that (Coulombs) `xx` (volts) = joules
`= -301 kJ (1 kJ = 10^(3)J`
Short cut : `F` is about `10^(5)C//mol e^(-)` and `E^(@)` is about `1.5 V`, so `DeltaG^(@) = -nFE^(@)` is approximately `- (2 mol e^(-))(10^(5)C//mol e^(-)(1.5 V) = -3.0 xx 10^(5) J`, or `300 kJ`.

Calculating the cell `emf` from free-energy change: Suppose the reaction of zinc ions and chloride ions are formed in aqueous solution. `Zn(s) + Cl_(2)(g) overset(H_(2)O)rarrZn^(2+)(aq.) + 2Cl^(-)(aq.)` Calculate the standard `emf` for this cell at `25^(@)C` from standard free energies of formation. Strategy: Calculate `Delta_(r)G^(@)` and substitute it along with the value of `n` into the equation `Delta_(r)G^(@) = -nfE_("cell")^(@)`. Solve for `E_("cell")^(@)`

Answer» Write the equation with `Delta_(r)G^(@)` beneath
`underset(0)(Zn(s))+underset(0)(Cl_(2))(g) overset(rarr)(larr) underset(-147)(Zn)^(2+)(aq.)+ underset(2xx(-131)kJ)(2Cl^(-)(aq.))`
Hence `Delta_(r)G^(@) = sumv_(p)Delta_(f)G^(@)("products")-sumv_(R)Delta_(f)G^(@)("reactants")`
`= [-147 + 2 xx (-131)] kJ - [0 + 0] kJ`
`= -409 kJ`
`= -4.09 xx 10^(5)J`
We ontain `n` by splitting the cell reacton into half-cell reactions
`Zn(s)overset(rarr)(larr)Zn^(2+)(aq.)+2e^(-)`
`2e^(-)+Cl_(2)(g) overset(rarr)(larr)2Cl^(-)(aq.)`
Each half-cell reaction involves two electrons, so `n = 2`. Now we substitute into `Delta_(r)G^(@) = -nfE_("cell")^(@)`
`-4.09 xx 10^(5)J = -(2 "mole" e^(-))(9.65 xx 10^(4)J//V.mol e^(-))`
Solving for `E_("cell")^(@)`, we get
`E_("cell")^(@) = 2.12 V`

Resistance of `0.2 M` solution of an electrolyte is `50 ohm`. The specific conductance of the solution is `1.4 S m^(-1)`. The resistance of `0.5 M` solution of the same electrolyte is `280 Omega`. The molar conductivity of `0.5 M` solution of the electrolyte in `S m^(2) mol^(-1)` idA. `5 xx 10^(3)`B. `5 xx 10^(2)`C. `5 xx 10^(-4)`D. `5 xx 10^(-3)`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`K = (1)/(R) xx (l)/(A)`
`(K_(1))/(K_(2)) = (R_(2))/(R_(1))`
`(1.4)/(K_(2)) = (280)/(50)`
`K_(2) = (7)/(28) = (1)/(4) Sm^(-1)`
`lambda_(m) =(K)/(M xx 1000) = (1)/(4) xx (1)/(0.5 xx 1000)`
`= 5 xx 10^(-4) Sm^(2) mol^(-1)`

Calculating half-reaction potential: Using the data in Table 3.1, find the standard potential of the half-reaction for the reduction of iron from the `+3` to the `0` oxidation state. Strategy: Write the desired half-cell reaction: `Fe^(3+)(aq.)+3e^(-)hArrFe(s)` Inspect the table for half-reactions that include these oxidantion states of iron.

Answer» The required half reactions are
`{:(Fe^(3+)(aq.)+e^(-)hArr Fe^(2+)(aq.)" "E^(@)=0.77V),(Fe^(2+)(aq.)+2e^(-)hArr Fe(s)" "E^(@)=-0.44V):}`
We see that the two half-reactions should be added to product the desired half-reaction. The `E^(@)` of the new half-reaction can be calculated by using Equation (3.13):
`E_(T)^(@) = (n_1E_1^(@)+n_2E_2^(@))/(n_(T))`
`= ((1)(0.77 V) + (2)(-0.044 V))/(3)`
`= -0.036`

Calculating cell constant: Conductivity of a decimolar solution of potassium chloride at `180^(@)C` is `1.12 Sm^(-1)`. The resistance of a conductivity cell containing the solution at `180^(@)C` was found to be `55 ohm`. What is the cell constant. Strategy: Use Equation (3.18) and solve for cell constant.

Answer» Conductance `(G) = 1//R = (1)/(55) S`
Conductance `(K) = 1.12 Sm^(-1)`
Substituting these results into Equation (3.18) solving for cell constant, we have
cell constant `(l//A) = (K)/(G)`
`= (1.22 Sm^(-1))/(1//55)S`
`61.6 m^(-1)`
`= 0.616 cm^(-1)`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
(b) In first case : `k=(1)/(R )xx(1)/(a)`
`(l)/(a)=kxxR=(1.40" ohm"^(-1)m^(-1))xx(50" ohm")`
`=70 m^(-1)`
In second case : `k=(1)/(R )xx(l)/(a)`
`=(1)/((282" ohm"))xx(70 m^(-1))=0.25" ohm"^(-1)m^(-1)`
`^^_(m)=(k)/(Mx1000)`
`C=0.5 M =(0.5 mol)/(1L)=(0.5 mol)/(m^(3))=0.5 mol m^(-3)`
`^^_(m)=((0.25" ohm"^(-1)m^(-1)))/((10^(3)xx0.5 mol m^(-3)))=5xx10^(-4)" ohm"^(-1) m^(2) mol^(-1)`

Calculating conductivity and molar conductivity: Resistance of a conductivity cell filled with `0.1 M KCl` solution is `100 Omega`. If the resistance of the same cell when filled with `0.02 M KCl` solutions `520 Omega` and the conductivity of `0.1 KCl` solution is `1.29 S m`, calculate the conductivity and moalr conductivity of `0.02 M KCl` solution. Strategy : Calculate the cell constant with the help of `0.01 M KCl` solution (both `R` and `kappa` are Known). Use the cell constant to determine the conductivity of `0.02 M KCl` solution and finally find its molar conductivity using the molarity

Answer» Consider `0.01 M KCl` solution
Cell constant `(G^(**))` = conductivity `xx` resistance
`= (1.29 S m^(-1)) xx (100 Omega)`
`= 1.29 Sm^(-1)`
Now consider `0.02 MKCl` solution :
Conductivity `(kappa)` = Cell constant `(G^(**))`/resistance `(R)`
`= 129 m^(-1)//520Omega`
`= 0.248 S m^(-1)`
Molar concentration `= 0.02 mol L^(-1)`
`= ((1000 L)/(m^(3))) xx (0.02 mol L^(-1))`
`= 20 mol m^(-3)`
Therefore, molar conductivity is given as
`Lambda_(m) = (kappa)/(C)`
`= (0.248 S m^(-1))/(20 mol m^(-3))`
`= (248 xx 10^(-3) S m^(-1))/(2 xx 10^(1) mol m^(-3))`
`= 124 xx 10^(-4) s m^(2)mol^(-1)`

Galvanic cells are classified into primary and secondary cells.(a) Write any two differences between primary cell and secondary cell.(b) (i) What is a fuel cell?(ii) Write the overall cell reaction in H2 – O2 fuel cell.

Answer»

(a) Primary cell

Cell reaction cannot be reversed and hence can not be recharged, cannot be reused again. e.g. Dry cell, Mercury cell

Secondary cell

Cell reaction can be reversed and hence can be recharged, can be resued again. e.g. Lead storage battery, nickel-cadmium cell

(b) (i) Fuel cell is a galvanic cell that is designed to convert the energy of combustion of fuels directly into electncal energy.

(ii) 2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(l)
