The e.m.f. of the cell `Zn|Zn^(2+)(0.01M)||Fe^(2+)(0.001M)|Fe` at 298K is 0.2905 then the value of equilibrium for the cell reaction isA. `e^((0.32)/(0.0295))`B. `10^((0.32)/(0.0295))`C. `10^((0.26)/(0.0295))`D. `10^((0.32)/(0.0591))`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
For this cell, reaction is:` Zn+Fe^(2+)toZn^(2+)+Fe`
`E=E^(o)-(0.0591)/(n)"log"(c_(1))/(c_(2)),E^(o)+(0.0591)/(n)"log"(c_(1))/(c_(2)) `
`=0.2905+(0.0591)/(2)"log"(10^(-2))/(10^(-3))=0.32V`.
`E^(o)=(0.0591)/(2)log" "K_(c),log" "K_(c)=(0.32xx2)/(0.0591)=(0.32)/(0.0295)`
`thereforeK_(c)=10^((0.32)/(0.295))`.

`Cu^(+)` ion is not stable in aqueous solution because of disproportionation reaction. `E^(@)` value for disproportionation of `Cu^(+)` is (Given `E_(Cu^(2+)//Cu^(+))^(@)=0.15,E_(Cr^(2+)//Cu)^(@)=0.34V`)A. `-0.49V`B. `0.49V`C. `-0.38V`D. `0.38V`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
The required reaction `(Cu^(++)+Cuto2Cu^(+))` can be obtained by using the following reactions.
`Cu^(++)+e^(-)toCu^(+),E_(Cu^(++)//Cu^(+))^(o)=0.15V` . . .(i)
`Cu^(++)+2e^(-)toCu,E_(Cu^(++)//Cu)^(o)=0.34V` . . (ii)
Multiplying eq. (i) by 2 we get
`2Cu^(++)+2e^(-)to2Cu^(+)` . . . (iii)
`DeltaG_(1)=-nFE=-2xxFxx0.15`
`Cu^(++)+2e^(-)toCu` . . . (iv)
Subtract the eq. (iv) from (iii)
`Cu^(++)+Cuto2Cu^(+)`
`DeltaG_(3)=-nFE=-1xxFxxE^(o)`
Also `DeltaG_(3)=DeltaG_(1)-DeltaG_(2)`
`-1FE^(o)=(-2Fxx0.15)-(-2Fxx0.34)`
`E^(o)=-0.38`
this is the value of the reaction
`Cu^(++)+Cuto2Cu^(+)`
but the given reaction is just reverse of it
`thereforeE_(cell)` for given reaction =+0.38V.

The electrochemical cell shown below is a concentration cell `M//M^(2+)` (saturated solution of a sparingly soluble salt, `MX_(2))||M^(2+)(0.001 mol dm^(-3))|M` The emf of the cell depends on the difference in concentrations of `Mn^(2+)` ions at the two electrodes. The emf of the cell at `298 K` is `0.059 V`. The solublity product `(K_(SP) , "mol"^(3)"dm"^(-9))` of `MX_(2)` at `298 K` based on the information available for the given concentration cell is : (take `2.303 xx R xx 298//F = 0.059V`)A. `1 xx 10^(-15)`B. `4 xx 10^(-15)`C. `1 xx 10^(-12)`D. `4 xx 10^(-12)`

`:. C_(1) = (0.001)/(100) = 10^(-5)`
`C_(1) =` concentration or solubility of `M^(2+) = 10^(-5)`
`MX_(2) hArr underset(S)(M^(2+))+underset(2S)(2X^(-))`
`K_(SP) = S(2S)^(2) = 4S^(3)`

The hydrogen electrode is prepared electrochemically by depositingA. Platinum on copper metalB. Silver on platinum metalC. Platinum on platinum metalD. Palladium on palladium metal

Answer» Correct Answer - C
The normal hydrogen electrode or standard hydrogen electrode, which is used as a primary reference, consists of a piece of platinum foil, which is cpateed electrolytically with a very finely-devided platinum known as platinum black to give it a large surface area, suspended in a molar solution of hydrogen ions. Pure hydrogen gas at `1` bar pressure is continually bubbed into the solution to keep it saturated and to expose the soil alternately to gas and solution.
The platinum act as an electrical conductor and also facilitates the attainment of equilibrium between the gas and its ions in solution.
In practice a 1.18 `M` solution of hydrochloric acid is used so that the activity (i.e. the effectivity concentration) of the hydrogen ions in solution is exactly unity.

The emf of a cell is the ratio of the difference inA. charge in coulombs to the electrical potential energy in joulesB. electrical potential energy in joules to the charge in coulombsC. electrical potential energy in joules to the resistanceD. electrical potential energy in joules to the time

Answer» Correct Answer - B
The fact that electrons flow from one elctrode to the other indicates that there is a potential (or voltage) difference between the two electrodes. This potential difference between the electrodes, called the electromotive froce, or `emf(E)`, is most conveniently described as potential, which is the potential energy per unit charge. We measure this quantity in volts. The volt `(V)` is the `SI` unit of potential difference.
The electrical work expended in moving a charge through a conductor is
Electrical work = charge `xx` potential difference
Corresponding `SI` units for the terms in the terms in this equationare
Joules = coulombs `xx` volts

Which of the following relations is incorrect ( `l =` length, a = area) ?A. `Lambda = kV` (V = dilution of the solution mL/equiv. or mL/mol)B. `G = k (a)/(l) ohm`C. `G = k (a)/(l) ohm^(-1)`D. `R = (1)/(k)(a)/(l) ohm`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Conductance `(G)`, the reciprocel of the resistance `(R)` of the condluctor is expressed in the unit celled reciprocel `ohm` (`ohm^(-1)` or `Omega^(-1)`). Thus, the correct relation is
`G = k (a)/(l) ohm^(-1)`

The unit of equivalent conductivity `(Lambda_(eq.))` areA. `ohm^(-1)cm^(2)eq^(-1)`B. `ohm^(-2)cm^(2)`C. `ohm^(-1)cm^(-1)`D. `ohm^(-1)cm^(-2)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Imagine `1 c.c.` of a solution of `1` equivalent of an electrolyte placed between two large electrodes `1 cm` apart. In this case
Conductance `(G)` = specific conductivity `(k)`
= Equivalent conductivity `(Lambda_(eq.))`
Suppose the solution is now diluted to `1000 cm^(3)`. We will be having now `1000 cm` cubes of the solution. Therefore, the conductance of the resulting solution will be `1000` times its specific conductance.
But even now, as the solution contain only `1 grams` equivalent of the electrolyte between the electrodes, the conductance measured will be equivalent conductance. Thus, in this case,
`Lambda_(eq.) = 1000 xx k`
If the solution is further diluted to say, `5000 cm^(3)`, there will be `5000 cm` cubes of the solution and hence the equivalent conductance of the resulting solution will be `5000` times its specific conductance. In general,
`Lambda_(eq) = kV`
where `V` (called dilution) is the volume of the solution in `c.cs`, containing `1 gram` equivalent of the electrolyte.
Since the units of conductivity are `Omega^(-1) cm^(-1)` and the units of volume are `cm^(3)`, units of equivalent conductance are :
`(Omega^(-1) cm^(-1)) (cm^(3) = Omega^(-1) cm^(2)`
In `SI` system, the units of equivalent conductance are `S m^(2)`.
Truly speaking the unit of equivalent conductance should be `S m^(2) "equiv"^(-1)` or `ohm^(-1) cm^(2) "equiv"^(-1)`
2491.

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`Lambda_(eq)^(oo) (NH_(4)OH)=Lambda_(eq)^(oo)(NH_(4)Cl)+ Lambda_(eq)^(oo) NaOH-Lambda_(eq)^(oo) (NaCl)`
`=(149.74+248.1)-126.4`

The following reaction takes place during discharge of lead storage battery: `Pb(s)+PbO_(2)(s)+2H_(2)SO_(4)(aq)to2PbSO_(4)(s)+2H_(2)O(l)` If 2.5 ampere of current is drawn for 16 hours 5 min, how much `H_(2)SO_(4)` is consumed?

Answer» Oxidation: `Pb(s)+SO_(4)^(2-)(aq)toPbSO_(4)(s)+2e^(-)`
`underline("Reduction:"PbO_(2)(s)+4H^(+)(aq)+SO_(4)^(2-)(aq)+2e^(-)toPbSO_(4)(s)+2H_(2)O(l))`
Overall reaction: `Pb(s)+PbO_(2)(s)+2H_(2)SO_(4)(aq)to2PbSO_(4)(s)+2H_(2)O(l)`
Thus, for drawing 2F of electricity, `H_(2)SO_(4)` consumed=2 mole
Actually quantity of electricity drawn`=Ixxt=2.5xx965xx60C=(2.5xx965xx60)/(96500)F=1.5F`
