How many electrons will have a total charge of 1 Coulomb?

Answer»

Given : 

Charge = 1 Coulomb Number of electrons = ? 

1 Faraday = 96500 C per mol electrons 

∵ 96500 C electric charge is present on 1 mol electrons

∴ 1C charge is present on \(\frac{1}{96500}\) mol electrons

∴ Number of electrons = \(\frac{1}{96500}\) x 6.022 x 1023

= 6.24 × 1018 electrons

∴ 1 Coulomb charge is present on 6.24 × 1018 electrons.

During an electrolysis of conc `H_(2)SO_(4)` , perdisulphuric acid `(H_(2)S_(2)_(8))` and `O_(2)` are formed in equimolar amount. The moles of `H_(2)` that will be formed simultaneously will be `a. `Thrice that of `O_(2)" "b.` Twice that of `O_(2)` `c.` Equal to that of `O_(2)." "d.` Half of that of `O_(2)`

Answer» `a.` This is a special case of electrolysis where two products are being obtained at anode .
At anode `:`
`4 overset(-)(O)H rarrO_(2)+2H_(2)O+4e^(c-) ,,,,,,,...(i)`
`2SO_(4)^(2-) rarr S_(2)O_(8)^(2-)+2e^(-)" "....(ii)`
`1 mol O_(2)` requires `4F` electricity and `1 mol S_(2)O_(8)^(2-)(-=H_(2)S_(2)O_(8))` requires `2F` electricity.
So, if `x mol `of `O_(2)` are being produced, electricity being passed at anode is `:`
`4x( f o r O_(2))+2x(3 f o r S_(2)O_(8)^(2-))=6xF`
At cathode `:`
`2H^(o+)+2e^(-) rarr H_(2)" "......(iii)`
`2F` electricity `-=1 mol H_(2)` is produced
`implies 6xF` electricity `-=1 mol H_(2)` is produced
`implies ` Moles of `H_(2)` produced at cathode `=3 mol `of `O_(2)` produced at anode.

`x=P_(t)=0.5`
`P_(N_(2)O_(5))=0.5 -2x =0.5 -2 (P_(t)-0.5)=1.5 -2P_(t)`
At `t=100s,P_(t)=0.512atm`
`P_(N_(2)O_(5))=1.5-2xx0.152=0.476atm`
Rate constant `k=(2.303)/(t)log ""(P_(i))/(P_(A))=(2.303)/(100s)log ""(0.5atm )/(0.476 atm )`
`=(2.303)/(100s) xx0.0216`
`4.98xx10^(-4) s^(-1)`

A first order reaction is found to have a rate constant, `k=5.5 xx10^(-14)s^(-1).` Find the half- life of the reaction.

Answer» Half-life for a first order reaction is
`t_(1//2)=(0.693)/(k)`
`t_(1//2)=(0.693)/(5.5xx10^(-14)S^(-1))=1.26xx10^(13)S`

During the electrolysis of aqueous solution of `HCOOK,` the number of gases obtained at cathode, anode, and total number of gases areA. `1,2,3`B. `1,2,2`C. `2,1,3`D. `2,1,2`

Answer» Correct Answer - b
At Cathode`:`
`H_(2)O+e^(-) rarr overset(c-)(O)H+(1)/(2)H_(2)(one)`
At anode `:`
`2HCOO^(c-) rarrr 2CO_(2)+H_(2)(` two`)`
`H_(2)` and `CO_(2)` at anode and `H_(2)` at cathode. So, number of gases as in `(b)`.
