Predict the products of electrolysis in eaCHM of the following `:` `a.` An aqueous solution of `AgNO_(3)` with silver electrodes. `b.` An aqeous solution of `AgNO_(3)` with platinum electrodes, `c.` A dilute solution of `H_(2)SSO_(4)` with platinum electrodes. `d.` An aqueous solution of `CuCl_(2)` with platinum electrodes.

Answer» (i) `AgNO_(3)` ionizes in aqueous solutions to form `Ag^(+)` and `NO_(3)^(-)` ions .
On On electrolysis, either `Ag_(+)` ions or `H_(2)O` molecules can be reduced at the cathode. But the reduction potential of `Ag_(+)` ions is higher than that of `H_(2)O`.
`Ag_((aq))^(+) + e^(-) to Ag_((s)) , E^(@) = +0.80 V `
`2H_(2)O_((l)) + 2 e^(-) to H_(2 (g)) + 2 OH_((aq))^(-) , E^(@) = - 0.83 V`
Hence `Ag^(+)` ions are reduced at the cathode . Similarly , Ag metal or `H_(2)O` molecules can be oxidized at the anode . But the oxidation potential of Ag is higher than that of `H_(2)O ` molecules .
`Ag_((s)) to Ag_((aq))^(+) + e^(-) , E^(@) = - 0.80 V`
`2H_(2)O_((l)) to O_(2 (g)) + 4 H_((aq))^(+) + 4 e^(-) , E^(@) = -1.23 V`
Therefore , Ag metal gets oxidized at the anode .
(ii) Pt cannot be oxidized easily . Hence , at the anode , oxidation of water occurs to liberate `O_(2)` . At the cathode , `Ag^(+)` ions are reduced and get deposited .
(iii) `H_(2)SO_(4)` ionizes in aqueous solutions to give `H^(+)` and `SO_(4)^(-)` ions .
`H_(2)SO_(4 (aq)) to 2H_((aq))^(+) + SO_(4 (aq))^(2-)`
On electrolysis , either of `H^(+)` ions or `H_(2)O` molecules can get reduced at the cathode .
But the reduction potential of `H^(+)` ions is higher than that of `H_(2)O` molecules .
`2H_((ag))^(+) + 2e^(-) to H_(2 (g)) , E^(@) = 0.0V`
`2H_(2)O_((aq)) + 2e^(-) to H_(2 (g)) + 2OH_((aq))^(-) , E^(@) = -0.83 V`
Hence , at the cathode , `H^(+)` ions are reduced to liberate `H_(2)` gas .
On the other hand , at the anode , either of `SO_(4)^(2-)` ions or `H_(2)O` molecules can get oxidized . But the oxidation of `SO_(4)^(2-)` involves breaking of more bonds than that of `H_(2)O` molecules . Hence , `SO_(4)^(2-)` ions have a lower oxidation potential than `H_(2)O` . Thus `H_(2)O` is oxidized at the anode to liberate `O_(2)` molecules .
(iv) In aqueous solutions , `CuCl_(2)` ionizes to give `Cu^(2+)` and `Cl^(-)` ions as :
`CuCl_(2 (aq)) to Cu_((aq))^(2+) + 2Cl_((aq))^(-)`
On electrolysis , either of `Cu^(2+)` ions or `H_(2)O` molecules can get reduced at the cathode . But the reduction potential of `H^(+)` ions is higher than that of `H_(2)O` molecules . `2H_((aq))^(+) + 2e^(-) to H_(2(g)) , E^(@) = 0.0V`
`2H_(2)O_((aq))k + 2e^(-) to H_(2 (g)) + 2OH_((aq))^(-) , E^(@) =- 0.83 V` .
Hence , at the cathode , `H^(+)` ions are reduced to liberate `H_(2)` gas .
On other hand , at the anode , either of `SO_(4)^(2-)` ions or `H_(2)O` molecules can get oxidized .
But the oxidation of `SO_(4)^(2-)` involves breaking of more bonds than that of `H_(2)O` molecules .
Hence , `SO_(4)^(2-)` ions have a lower oxidation potential than `H_(2)O` . Thus , `H_(2)O` is oxidized at the anode to liberate `O_(2)` molecules .
(iv ) In aqueous solutions , `CuCl_(2)` ionizes to give `Cu^(2+)` and `Cl^(-)` ions as :
`CuCl_(2(aq)) to Cu_((aq))^(2+) + 2Cl_((aq))^(-)`
On electrolysis , either of `Cu^(2+)` ions or `H_(2)O` molecules can get reduced at the cathode . But the reduction potential of `Cu^(2+)` is more than that of `H_(2)O` molecules .
`Cu_((aq))^(2+) + 2e^(-) to Cu_((aq)) , E^(@) = - 0.34 V`
`H_(2)O_((l)) + 2e^(-) to H_(2(g)) + 2OH^(-) , E^(@) = - 0.83 V`
Hence `Cu^(2+)` ions are reduced at the cathode and get deposited .
Similarly , at the anode , either of `Cl^(-)` or `H_(2)O` is oxidized . The oxidation potential of `H_(2)O` is higher than that of `Cl^(-)` .
`2Cl_((aq))^(-) to Cl_(2 (aq)) + 2e^(-) , E^(@) = - 1.36V`
`2H_(2)O_((l)) to O_(2 (g)) + 4H_((aq))^(-) + 4e^(-) , E^(@) = -1.23 V `
But the oxidation of `H_(2)O` molecules occurs at a lower electrode potential than that of `Cl^(-)` ions because of over- voltage (extra voltage required to liberate gas ). As a result , `Cl^(-)` ions are oxidized at the anode to liberate `Cl_(2)` gas .

If you are intially provided with 224 gm of pure chromite ore and 169.6gm of sodium carbonate, the minimum volume of air required at 1 atm and 273 K to consume at least one of the reactant completely, if aire contains 20% by volume of oxygen gas is :A. 156.8LB. 196LC. 28LD. 152.4L

In an ore, the only oxidizable material is `Sn^(2+)`. This ore is titrated with a dichromate solution containing `2.5g` of `K_(2)Cr_(2)O_(7)` in `0.5 "litre"`. A `0.40 g` sample of the ore required `10.0 cm^(3)` of titrant to reach equivalence point. Calculate the percentage of tin in ore.

Answer» Redox changes are:
`Sn^(2+)rarrSn^(4+)+2e`
`6e+Cr_(2)^(6+)rarr2Cr^(3+)`
Since `Sn^(2+)` is oxidised by `K_(2)Cr_(2)O_(7)`.
`therefore` Meq.of `Sn^(2+)="Meq.of" K_(2)Cr_(2)O_(7)`
used for tin `=NxxV_("in " mL) ( because N=(2.5)/((294.2)/(6)xx0.5))`
`= (2.5)/((294.2)/(6)xx0.50)xx10=1.0197`
`therefore (w_(Sn^(2+)))/(118//2)xx1000=1.0197`
`therefore w_(Sn^(2+))=0.06g`
`therefore % Sn=(0.06)/(0.4)xx100=15%`

Redox is a reaction in which both oxidation and reduction will take place simultaneously . It is obvious that if one substance gives electron there must be another substance to accept these electrons . In some reactions, same substance is reduced as well as oxidised, these reactions are termed as disproportionation reactions. For calculating equivalent mass in redox reaction change in oxidtaion number is realted to n-factor which is reciprocal of molar ratio. This reaction is an example of `Br_(2) + OH^(-) to BrO_(3)^(-) + H_(2)O + Br^(-)`A. Oxidation reaction onlyB. Reduction reaction onlyC. Neutralization reactionD. Disproportionation reaction

which of the following is a redox reaction ?A. ` Mg(OH)_2 + 2NH_4Cl rarr MgCl_2 + 2NH_4OH`B. ` Zn+ 2 AgCN rarr 2Ag+ Zn(CN)_2`C. `CaC_2O_4 + 2HCl rarr CaCl_2 + H_2C_2O_4`D. `NaCl +KNO_3 rarr NaNO_3 + KCl`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
It is a redox reaction as `Zn` is oxidized to ` Zn^(2+)` while ` Ag^(+)` is reduced to Ag.
Reactions (1) and (3) are displacement reactions. In the former, a stronger base displaces the weaker base while in the latter a stronger acid displaces the weaker acid. Reaction (4) is a double desplacement reaction.

Oxidation numbers fo iodine in ` IO_3^(-), IO_4^(-), Kl`, and `I_3` , respectively, are .A. ` +5, +7, -1, 0`B. ` -1, -5, -1, 0`C. ` -2, -5 , -1, 0`D. ` +3, +5, +7, 0`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
The algebraic sum of the oxidation number of all the atoms in a compound must be zero and in a polyatomic ion must equal the charge on the ion. Let the oxidation number or iodine be `x`. Then
`IO_3^(-) rArr x+ 3(-2) =- 1`
`x=+5`
` IO_4^(-) rArr x + 4 (-2) =- 1`
` x =+7`
`KI rArr ( +1) + (x) =0`
` x=- 1`
` I_2 rArr 2 x =0`
` x = 0`.

5.5 g of a mixutre of `FeSO_4.7H_2O` and `Fe_2(SO_4)_3.9H_2O` requires 5.4 " mL of " `0.1 N KMnO_4` solution for complete oxidation. Calculate the number of gram moles of hydrated ferric sulphate in the mixture.

Answer» Redox changes are:
`5e+Mn^(7+)rarrMn^(2+)`
`Fe^(2+)rarrFe^(3+)+1e`
It is no be noted here that only `FeSO_(4).7H_(2)O` will react with `KMnO_(4)` to bring in redox change.
`because` Meq.of `FeSO_(4).7H_(2)O= "Meq.of" KMnO_(4)`
`(w)/(E )xx1000=5.4xx0.1`
`therefore (w)/((278)/(1))xx1000=0.54`
`therefore w=0.150g`
`therefore` Weight of `Fe_(2)(SO_(4))_(3).9H_(2)O=5.5-0.150g`
`=5.350 g`
`therefore` Mole of `Fe_(2)(SO_(4))_(3).9H_(2)O=(5.350)/(562)`
`=9.5xx10^(-3)"mole"`
`( because "M.wt." of `Fe_(2)(SO_(4))_(3).9H_(2)O=562)`
