In which of the following reaction, $ H_2O_2 $ as reducing agent ?




In the given reaction, $2KMnO_4 + 2H_2O_2 ightarrow 2MnO_2 + 2KOH + 2H_2O + 3O_2$, hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) acts as a reducing agent. This is because it reduces $KMnO_4$ (potassium permanganate) from the +7 oxidation state of manganese in $MnO_4^-$ to the +4 oxidation state in $MnO_2$. Hence, $H_2O_2$ is oxidized to $O_2$ in the process. Therefore, $H_2O_2$ acts as a reducing agent in this reaction.
Which of the following is a redox reaction ?

Which of the following is a correct ascending order, when oxidation no. of sulphur of $ H_2SO_3, H_2S_2O_3, H_2S_2O_7, H_2S_2O_8 $ or sulphurus acid, thio sulphuric acid, oleum, dithianic acid is arranged in ascending order ?




To determine the oxidation state of sulfur in each compound: 1. In $H_2SO_3$ (Sulfurous acid), the oxidation state of S is +4. 2. In $H_2S_2O_3$ (Thiosulfuric acid), it has +2 and +6 oxidation states of sulfur, so the average is +2. 3. In $H_2S_2O_7$ (Oleum), the oxidation state of S is +6. 4. In $H_2S_2O_8$ (Peroxydisulfuric acid), the oxidation state of S is +7. Thus, the correct ascending order is $ H_2S_2O_3 ightarrow H_2SO_3 ightarrow H_2S_2O_6 ightarrow H_2S_2O_7 $.

In the sample of iron oxide, the no. of $ Fe^{2+} $ ion is 90% and no. of is 10% then what is the molecular formula ?

The oxidation no. of sulphur in $ Al_2(SO_4)_3 $ is




To find the oxidation number of sulfur in \( Al_2(SO_4)_3 \), we need to consider the oxidation states of all the elements in the compound. - Aluminum (Al) has an oxidation state of +3. - Oxygen (O) typically has an oxidation state of -2. The compound \( Al_2(SO_4)_3 \) can be broken down as follows: \[ 2 imes (+3) + 3 imes (x + 4 imes (-2)) = 0 \] Solving for x (the oxidation state of sulfur, S): \[ 2 imes 3 + 3 imes (x - 8) = 0 \] \[ 6 + 3x - 24 = 0 \] \[ 3x - 18 = 0 \] \[ 3x = 18 \] \[ x = 6 \] Therefore, the oxidation number of sulfur in \( Al_2(SO_4)_3 \) is +6.
In a balanced equation, $ aP(S) + bH_2O + CO_2 \rightarrow dH_3PO_4 +CO_2 $ ,oxidation no. of oxygen decreases 30, then c -e= ______

$ Mg |Mg ^ {2+} _{(c_1)} P Ag ^ + _{(c-2)} |Ag $ which of the following Nernst equation is correct for the given electrochemical cell ?




No explanation available.
What will be the oxidation potential of $ Pt | H_{2 _{(a)_ (1 bar)}} | H ^+ ( P ^H = 11) half cell 25 ^\circ C $ temperature ?




For the half-cell reaction involving hydrogen: \[ Pt | H_2 (1 ext{ bar}) | H^+ (a = 1) \] The oxidation potential can be calculated using the Nernst equation: \[ E = E^ ext{°} + rac{0.0591}{n} ext{log} rac{[H^+]}{P_{H_2}} \] Given that \(PH = 11\), which means the concentration of \(H^+\) is \(10^{-11}\). Plugging in the values, we get the oxidation potential as 0.177 V.
For an electrochemical cell, $ Mg| Mg^{2+}_{(C1)} || Br^-_{(C2)} | Br_{2(1)} | Pt $ , what wiil be the change in cell potential, when conc of solution of cathode increase at constant temperature ?




In an electrochemical cell, when the concentration of the solution in the cathode increases, the reaction quotient Q decreases because the concentration of the reactants increases. According to the Nernst equation, $E_{cell} = E^{ ext{cell}} - rac{RT}{nF} ext{ln} Q$, a decrease in Q results in a decrease in the cell potential, E. Therefore, the cell potential decreases.
Aqueous solution of salt of metal B is stored in a vessel of metal A and aqueous solution of solt of metal c can be stored in the vessel of metal B, then, which of the following is the correct descending order of their strength of reducing agent of A, B and c ?




A metal can displace another metal from its salt solution if it is a stronger reducing agent. Since an aqueous solution of a salt of metal B can be stored in a vessel of metal A, metal A is a stronger reducing agent than metal B ($A > B$). Similarly, since an aqueous solution of a salt of metal C can be stored in a vessel of metal B, metal B is a stronger reducing agent than metal C ($B > C$). Therefore, the order of their strength as reducing agents is $C > B > A$.
Standard oxidation potential of half cells of $ A/A^{2+}, B/B^{2+}, C/C^{2+} and D/D^{2+} $ are in increasing order, then which of the following statement is correct ?

5 faraday electric charge is passed during electrolysis of molten $cacl_2$ solution, then what moles of Ca obtained at cathode experimentally ?




During the electrolysis of molten CaCl_2, calcium ions are reduced at the cathode. According to Faraday's laws of electrolysis, 2 Faradays of charge are required to deposit 1 mole of Ca. Therefore, 5 Faradays would theoretically deposit 2.5 moles of Ca. However, due to practical losses and inefficiencies, the actual amount obtained is less than 2.5 moles.
