during this time moles of `H_(2)` evolved `=(2xx 2.35)/(22.4)`
volume of `H_(2)` evolved with `O_(2) =(2 xx 2.35)/(22.4) xx 22.4 = 4.7 L`
volume of `H_(2)` evolved with `H_(2)S_(2)O_(8) = 9.722 - 4.7 = 5.022 L`
moles of `H_(2)` evolved `=(5.022)/(22.4)`
moles of `H_(2)S_(2)O_(8)` formed `=(5.022)/(22.4)`
wt. of `H_(2)S_(2)O_(8)` formed
`=(5.022)/(22.4) xx 194 = 43.45 g`

Assume that impure copper contains only iron, silver and a gold as impurities. After passage of `140A`, for `482.5` sec, of the mass of the anode decreased by `22.260g` and the cathode increased in mass by `22.011g`. Estimate the % iron and % copper originaly present.

Answer» Correct Answer - `Cu =98.88%, Fe = 0.85%`
At cathode only pure copper is deposited so % of
`Cu = (22.011)/(22.26) xx 100 = 98/88%`
Charge passed
`=140 xx 482.5 = 67550` colombs
`= (67550)/(96500) = 0.7` Faraday
Faraday used fot reduction of `Cu =(22.011 xx 2)/(63.5) = 0.69326`
so Farday used for iron `=0.7 - 69326 = 0.00674 F`
mass of iron
`= (0.00674 xx 56)/(2) = 0.1887 g`
`% of Fe = (0.1887)/(22.26) xx 100 = 0.847%`

A solution containing one mole per litre of each `Cu(NO_(3))_(2), AgNO_(3), Hg_(2)(NO_(3))_(2)` is being electrolysed by using inert electrodes. The values of standard electrode potentials in volts (reduction potentials) are `Ag^(+)//Ag = +0.80 V, HG_(2)^(2+)//Hg = +0.79 V` `Cu^(+)//Cu = +0.34 V, Mg^(2+)//Mg = -2.37 V` With increasing valtage, the sequence of deposition of metals on the cathode will beA. `Cu, Hg, Ag`B. `Ag, Hg, Cu, Mg`C. `Ag, Hg, Cu`D. `Mg, Cu, Hg, Ag`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
The higher the reduction potential, reater the tendency to get reduced. Since reduction potentials of the ions are in the order :
`Ag^(+) gt Hg_(2)^(2+) gt Cu^(2+) gt Mg^(2+)`
We expect the second option to be correct but `Mg^(2+)` is never reduced in aqueous solution as its reaction potential is much lower than that of water `(-0.83 V)`. Therefore, the correct sequence of deposition of the metals will be: Ag, Hg, Cu.

A certain current liberates `0.5g` of hydrogen in 2 hours. How many grams of copper can be liberated by the same current flowing for the same time in a copper sulphate solution ?A. ` 12.7 g`B. ` 15.9 g`C. ` 31.8 g`D. ` 45 g`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`("Weight of" Cu)/("Weight of" H_2) = (Eq."weifht" of Cu)/(Eq."weight" . Of H)`
`("Weight of" Cu)/(0.50) = ( 63.6//2)/1`
Weight of ` Cu = 15.9 g`.

A `Zn` rod weighing `1.0g` is taken in `100mL` of `1M CuSO_(4)` solution . After some time, `[Cu^(2+)]` in solution `=0.9M(` atomic weight of `Zn=65.5g)`. Which of the following statements is `//` are correct ? `a. 0.655g` of `Zn` was lost during the reaction. `b. 0.327 g `of `Zn` was lost during the reaction . `c.` There is no change in the molarity of `SO_(4)^(2-)` ion. `d.` There is a change in the molarity of `SO_(4)^(2-)` ion.

Answer» Correct Answer - a,c
`a. mEq.` of `Cu^(2+)` before reaction ltbr. `=100xx1xx2 ` `(n` factor for `Cu^(2+)=2)`
`=200`
`mEq` of `Cu^(2+)` after reaction `=100xx0.9xx2=180`
`mEq` of `Cu^(2+)` lost `=200-180=20`
`mEq` of `Zn` lost `=20`
Weight of `Zn` lost `=mEqxx10^(-3)xxEw` of `Zn`
`=90xx10^(-3)xx(65.5)/(2)`
`(n` factor for `Zn=2)`
`=0.655g`
`c.` There is no change in the molartiy of `SO_(4)^(2-)` ions, since `SO_(4)^(2-)` ions have not been oxidized and there is no change is the volume of solution .

A Current of 9.65 ampere flowing for 10 minutes deposits 3.0g of the metal which is monovalent. The atomci mass of the metal isA. 10B. 50C. 30D. 96.5

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`Q="If"=9.65xx10xx60=5790C`
` underset("monovalent metal") (M^(+))+underset("IF" 96500C)(e)rarrunderset("1mole")(M)`
With 5790C , amount of metal depsoited=3gm
With 96500C, amount of metal deposited.
`=(3)/(5790)xx96500`
=50 g (equivalent weight)
Atomic mass=`50xx` valency=`50xx1=50` amu

If the half-cell reaction ` A = E^(-) rarr A^-` has a large negative reduction potential, it follows that .A. A is readily reducedB. A is readily oxidizedC. `A^(-)` is readily reducedD. `A^(-)` is readily oxidized.

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Gain of electrons is reduc tion and A has a large negative reduction potential . This means the reduction potential of A is very smaller. A is difficult to reduce to `A^(-)`. Therefore `A ^(-)` is easy to oxidise to A.

If the half-cell reaction ` A = E^(-) rarr A^-` has a large negative reduction potential, it follows that .A. A is readily reducedB. A is readily oxidisedC. `A^(-)` is readily reducedD. `A^(-)` is readily oxidised

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Negative `E_(RP)^(@)` means more `E_(OP)^(@)` , i.e., more is the tendency to get itself oxidised . Thus `A^(-)` is readily oxidised .

If the half-cell reaction ` A = E^(-) rarr A^-` has a large negative reduction potential, it follows that .A. A is readily reducedB. A is readily oxdisedC. `A^-` is readily reducedD. A is readily oxidised

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Negative electrode potential (reduction potential ) indicates lesser tendency for the reduction. Hence A is readily oxidized.

Calculate `DeltaG_(298)^(@)` and `DeltaS_(298)^(@)` for the reaction : `2H_(2(g))+O_(2(g)) rarr 2H_(2)O_((l)): DeltaH_(298)^(@) = -136.64kcal`. Given that `O_(2(g))+4H^(+)+4e rarr 2H_(2)O_((l)), E^(@) = 1.23V` `2H_(2(g)) rarr 4H^(+)+4e, E^(@) = 0.00V`

Answer» Given `{:(O_(2(g))+4H^(+)+4erarr2H_(2)O_(4), E^(@)=1.23V),(2H_(2(g))rarr4H^(+)+e^(-), E^(@)=0.00V):} /("On adding" 2H_(2(g))+O_(2(g))rarr2H_(2)O_((l)))` , `E^(@)=1.23+0 = 1.23V)`
`because DeltaG_(298)^(@) = -nE^(@)F`
`= 4 xx 1.23 xx 96500 = -474780J`
`= -474.78J = -113.58 kcal`
Also `DeltaG_(298)^(@) = DeltaH^(@)-TDeltaS^(@)`
`DeltaS_(298)^(@) = [(DeltaG^(@)-DeltaH^(@))/(T)]= (DeltaH^(@)-DeltaG^(@))/(T)`
`= (-136.64-(-113.58))/(298)`
`= -0.77 kcal`

To find the standard potential of `M^(3+)//M` electrode, the following cell is constituted : `Pt|M|M^(3+) (0.0018 mol^(-1) L)||Ag^(+) (0.01 mol^(-1) L(|Ag` The emf of this cell is found to be 0.42 volt. Calculate the standard potential of the half reaction `M^(3+)+3e^(-) rarr M`. `E_(Ag^(+)//Ag)^(@)=0.80` volt.

Answer» The cell reaction is
`M+3Ag^(+) rarr 3Ag+M^(3+)`
Applying Nernst equation,
`E_(cell)=E_(cell)^(@)-0.0591/3"log" ([M^(3+)])/([Ag^(+)]^(3))`
`0.42=E_(cell)^(@)-0.0591/3"log"((0.0018))/((0.01)^(3))=E_(cell)^(@)-0.064`
`E_(cell)^(@)=(0.42+0.064)=0.484` volt
`E_(cell)^(@)=E_("Cathode")^(@)-E_("Anode")^(@)`
or `E_("Anode")^(@)=E_("Cathode")^(@)-E_(Cell)^(@)`
`=(0.80-0.484)=0.32` volt
