Explanation

(d) 

The Nernst equation is an important relation which is used to determine reaction equilibrium constants and concentration potentials

The specific conductance of a 0.1N KCl solution at 23°C is 0.012 Ω-1cm-1. The resistance of cell containing the solution at the same temperature was found to be 55 Ω. The cell constant will be

Explanation

Concept used: Faradays first law.

wt of sub deposited is given by :

w = 2 x Q

w = 2 x i x t       (i always in ampere t always in sec)

w=Eq wt96500×i×t=Mol wtn-factor 86500×i × t=65296500×5×(40×60)=65×5×4×62×965=65×60965= 4 . (something)

 hence: (c) 4.065 g is correct.

 

Al2O3 is reduced by electrolysis at low potentials and high currents. If 4.0 x 104 A of current is passed through molten Al2O3 for 6 h, what mass of aluminium is produced? (Assume 100% current efficiency, atomic mass of Al = 27g mol-1)

Concept used: Faraday's first law:

w = 2 x Q

=w=E96500×i×t=27396500×4×10×6×60×60         [eq wt of AT: 27 valancy: 3]=27×4×10×6×6×63×965=108×36×2×104965=7776965=8×104 g (app.)

The standard reduction potential at 290 K for the following half reactions are,

(i) Zn2+ + 2e— → Zn(s);      E° = -0.762 V

(ii) Cr3+ + 3e → Cr(s);          E° = -0.740 V

(iii) 2H+ + 2e → H2(g); ·      E° = -0.000 V

(iv) Fe3+ + e → Fe2+;         E° = +0.77V

Which is the strongest reducing agent?

Explanation

(a) Zn has more +ve OP and thus possesses more tendency to get oxidise and act as reducingt agent.

Explanation

 

it prevents rusting because it provides cathdic protection (b) prevent action of water and salt. Several blocks of magnesium are fixed to the bottom of a ship to. Magnesium, on account of its lightness, great affinity for oxygen and toughness is used in ship

 

The electrode potentials for
