Explanation:
Rusting of iron is a combination reaction. It occurs as follows-
Fe + H2O + O2 → Fe2O3 × H2O
Explanation:
Compounds should be aqueous or molten so that they can be easily dissociated into ions.
Explanation:
As we know, More negative is the standard potential, higher is the probability to oxidise and because of that it has high ability to displace hydrogen from acids.
Explanation:
On adding electrons to Y, it will get negatively charged and hence will migrate to positive electrode that is anode.
Explanation:
The presence of CO2 in the atmosphere will do iron oxide rusting. When a drop of water hits an iron object, two things begin to happen almost immediately. First, the water, a good electrolyte, combines with carbon dioxide in the air to form a weak carbonic acid, an even better electrolyte. As the acid is formed and the iron dissolved, some of the water will begin to break down into its component pieces - hydrogen and oxygen. The free oxygen and dissolved iron bond into iron oxide, in the process freeing electrons.
Explanation:
The process used to decompose compounds using electric current is called electrolysis.
Explanation:
Ionic substances can be broken down into the elements they are made from by passing electricity through them. The process is called electrolysis.
Explanation:
Carbon dioxide is a weak electrophile. It possess very less partial positive charge which are attracted towards electrons.
Explanation:
Coulometry is the technique that determines the amount of matter transformed during an electrolysis reaction, by measuring the amount of electricity (in coulombs) consumed or produced.
Explanation:
We know that 22,400cm3 of H2 means 1 mole of H2.
Now, we know that 2H++ 2e− → H2
Hence, for production of 1 mole of H2, two moles of e− are required.
And, one mole of e− constitutes 96500 C
Hence, charge or electricity required = 96500 × 2 = 193000 C
Explanation:
Rusting of iron involves oxidation.
Explanation:
The Faraday constant (named after Michael Faraday) is the magnitude of electric charge per mole of electrons. It is equal to 96500 coulombs.
Explanation:
Corrosion is a process through which metals in manufactured states return to their natural oxidation states. This process is a reduction-oxidation reaction in which the metal is being oxidized by its surroundings, often the oxygen in air. As platinum is least reactive so it will not corrode.
Explanation:
A dry cell is a type of battery, commonly used for portable electrical devices.A standard dry cell comprises a zinc anode, usually in the form of a cylindrical pot, with a carbon cathode in the form of a central rod. The electrolyte is ammonium chloride in the form of a paste next to the zinc anode.Ammonium chloride is a strong electrolyte. In dry cell, the electrolyte ammonium chloride forms ammonium ion and chloride ions.
Explanation:
At cathode reduction occurs, therefore, cathode acts as a reducing agent by supplying electrons.
Explanation:
EMF is the difference between the electrode potentials of two electrodes. when no current is drawn through the cell.
Explanation:
Electric energy is a form of energy, which is created by the movement of electrons. Generally electrons are bound to an atom by the positive force of protons. When for some reason these electrons get detached from their atoms electric energy is produced.
Explanation:
In the activity series, metals are on the top of the series react and corrode easily as these metals are highly reactive like iron corrodes easily in the presence of water and air forming its oxide layer while metals present at the bottom are least reactive and do not corrode easily like gold, silver and platinum are some of them.
Explanation:
Electrolytes which allow small amount of electricity to pass through them are known as weak electrolytes.
Explanation:
We know that Bromine gas is reddish brown in colour and which can only liberates during electrolysis of Lead (II) bromide (PbBr2) During electrolysis of Lead (II) bromide , Positive lead ions (cations) move to the cathode and gain electrons to become lead metal and negative bromide ions (anions) move to the anode and loose an electron to make chlorine atoms. Two bromine atoms then combine and the diatomic bromine gas (Br2) is released at the anode.
Explanation:
In photoelectric effect when monochromatic radiations of suitable frequency fall on the photo-sensitive plate called cathode, the photoelectrons are emitted which get accelerated towards the anode. These electrons flow in the outer circuit resulting in the photoelectric current.
Using the incident radiations of a fixed frequency, it is found that the photoelectric current increases linearly with the intensity of incident light.
Explanation:
The energy conversion that takes place in a galvanic cell is an chemical to electrical change. Galvanic cells are cells that consist of two dissimilar metals in common contact with an electrolyte.
Explanation:
Eectrolysis chemical decomposition produced by passing an electric current through a liquid or solution containing ions.The electrolysis proceeds and the rate of liberation remains the same happens when an electrolysis experiment is stopped and the battery terminals are reversed
Explanation:
A electrolytic solution allows the flow of ions to maintain a balance in charge between the oxidation and reduction vessels while keeping the contents of each separate. With the charge difference balanced, electrons can flow once again, and the reduction and oxidation reactions can proceed.
Explanation:
Electroplating is a process for coating a conductive object with a thin layer of a material, such as a metal. An electrical current is used to reduce cations of a desired material from a solution onto the object. Electroplating is primarily used for depositing a layer of material to bestow a desired property (e.g., abrasion , wear resistance, corrosion protection, lubricity, aesthetic qualities, etc.) to a surface that otherwise lacks that property. Another application uses electroplating to build up thickness on undersized parts.An article made of an ordinary metal is desired to be coated with gold by electroplating, then gold has to be made as the anode of an electrolytic cell.
Explanation:
The corrosion of iron is an electrochemical process. The anode region and cathode region are present in iron. Iron(II) is oxidized to Iron(III) by oxygen and is then converted to rust. At the cathode, oxygen is reduced. The electron flow is from anode to cathode through metal. This is accompanied by the flow of ions through water droplets.
Explanation:
Electrotyping is one of application of electrolysis, and is used for the reproduction of some craft work e.g., art work on metals, woodcarving and gramophone records etc.
An impression of the object is taken on a wax block. The wax blocks impression is then coated (sprayed) with a fine power of graphite and is made cathode in an electrolytic bath containing solution of a suitable salt e.g., copper sulfate.
The anode is made of a thin sheet of pure metal e.g., copper metal. The passage of electric current results in the deposition of copper on the wax block impression. After a reasonably thick layer of metal is obtained, the wax is removed by melting.
Explanation:
In an electrochemical cell, cathode is the electrode, at which reduction takes place and electrons are gained by some species.
Anode is the electrode, at which oxidation takes place and the electrons are lost by some species.
Explanation:
A secondary battery cell is one in which chemical energy is converted into electrical energy, but they work only when they are charged by passing electric current through them by some source.

The capacity of a cell is measured by the discharging at a constant electric current until it fully drains out for that particular time. Hence, the capacity of the cell/battery is measured by the ampere-hour rating.
Explanation:
A voltaic cell also known as galvanic cell is an electrochemical cell that uses spontaneous redox reactions to generate electricity. It consists of two separate half cells. Chemical energy is converted to electrical energy.
Explanation:
While charging the lead storage battery the reaction occurring on cell is reversed and PbSO4(s) on anode and cathode is converted into Pb and Pb02 respectively.
Hence, option (i) is the correct choice The electrode reactions are as follows:

Architectural structures built with copper corrode to give green verdigris (copper carbonate). It can be a mixture of carbonate and sulfate compounds in various amounts, depending upon environmental conditions such as sulfur-containing acid rain.
Explanation:
The metals lose their shine and become dull when exposed to air for a long time. Due to the formation of oxides, when the surface is rubbed by a sand paper, then the outer corroded layer is removed.
Explanation:
Tin cans, used for storing food, are made by electroplating tin onto iron. Tin is less reactive than iron. Thus, food does not come into contact with iron and
is protected from getting spoilt.
Explanation:
Highest positive value of standard reduction potential means strongest oxidising agent. Hence, MnO-4 is the strongest oxidising agent.
