Question 14 Marks
Standard electrode potentials are used for various processes:

  • It is used to measure relative strengths of various oxidants and reductants.
  • It is used to calculate standard cell potential.
  • It is used to predict possible reactions.
A set of half-reactions (in acidic medium) along with their standard reduction potential, Eº (in volt) values are given below:

I2 + 2e- → 2I- ; Eº = 0.54 V

Cl2 + 2e- → 2Cl- ; Eº = 1.36 V

Mn3+ +e- → Mn2+ ; Eº = 1.50 V

Fe3+ + e- → Fe2+ ; Eº = 0.77 V

  1. (a) -0.82 V

Explanation:

Half reactions:

I2 2e- → 2I-

2CI- → CI2 + 2e-

$\text{Reduction}\text{ E}^\circ= 0.54\text{V}\\\text{Oxidation}\text{ E}^\circ=-1.36\text{V}\\\overline{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ }\\\ \text{e.m.f}=-0.82\text{V}$

  1. (c) The reaction does not occur.

Explanation:

Fe3+ + Mn2+ → Mn3+ + Fe2+

Two half reactions:

Fe3+ + e- → Fe2+

Mn2+ → Mn3+ + e-

$\text{Reduction}\text{ E}^\circ= 0.77\text{V}\\\text{Oxidation}\text{ E}^\circ=-1.50\text{V}\\\overline{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ }\\\ \text{e.m.f}=-0.73\text{V}$

Since, emf is negative, the reaction does not occur i.e., Fe3+ does not oxidise Mn2+.

Question 34 Marks
The potential of each electrode is known as electrode potential. Standard electrode potential is the potential when concentration of each species taking part in electrode reaction is unity and the reaction is taking place at 298K. By convention, the standard electrode potential of hydrogen (SHE) is 0.0V. The electrode potential value for each electrode process is a measure of relative tendency of the active species in the process to remain in the oxidised/ reduced form. The negative electrode potential means that the redox couple is stronger reducing agent than $\frac{\text{H}^+}{\text{H}_2}$ couple. A positive electrode potential means that the redox couple is a weaker reducing agent than the $\frac{\text{H}^+}{\text{H}_2}$ couple. Metals which have higher positive value of standard reduction potential form the oxides of greater thermal stability.

Question 54 Marks
All chemical reactions involve interaction of atoms and molecules. A large number of atoms/molecules are present in a few gram of any chemical compound varying with their atomic/ molecular masses. To handle such large number conveniently, the mole concept was introduced. All electrochemical cell reactions are also based on mole concept. For example, a 4.0 molar aqueous solution of NaCl is prepared and 500mL of this solution is electrolysed. This leads to the evolution of chlorine gas at one of the electrode. The amount of products formed can be calculated by using mole concept.
The following questions are multiple choice questions. Choose the most appropriate answer:
  1. The total number of moles of chlorine gas evolved is:
  1. 0.5
  2. 1.0
  3. 1.5
  4. 1.9
  1. If cathode is a Hg electrode, then the maximum weight of amalgam formed from this solution is:
  1. 300g
  2. 446g
  3. 396g
  4. 296g
  1. The total charge (coulomb) required for complete electrolysis is:
  1. 186000
  2. 24125
  3. 48296

  1. H2gas
  2. Cl2gas
  3. O2gas
  4. None of these.
Answer
  1. (b) 1.0

$\text{n}_\text{NaCl}=\frac{4\times500}{1000}=2\text{mol}$

$\therefore\text{n}_{\text{Cl}_2}=1\text{mol}$

  1. (b) 446g

Explanation:

$\text{n}_\text{Na}$ deposited = 2mol

$\therefore\text{n}_{\text{Na}-\text{Hg}}$ formed = 2 mol

$\therefore$ Mass of amalgam formed = 2 × 223 = 446g

  1. (d) 193000

Explanation:

$2\text{Na}^+ + 2\text{e}^-\rightarrow2\text{Na}\\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (\text{2F})$

Question 64 Marks
Two types of conductors are generally used, metallic and electrolytic. Free electrons are the current carrier in metallic and in electrolytic conductors, free ions. Specific conductance or conductivity of an electrolytic solution is given by

$\text{K}=\text{C}\times\frac{\text{l}}{\text{A}}$

where, $\text{C}\times\frac{1}{\text{R}}$ and $\frac{\text{l}}{\text{A}}=\text{G}^\star$ (cell constant)

Molar conductance $(\wedge_\text{m})$ and equivalent conductance $(\wedge_\text{e})$ of an electrolyte solution are calculated as

$\wedge_\text{m}=\frac{\text{K}\times1000}{\text{M}}$ or $\wedge_\text{e}=\frac{\text{K}\times1000}{\text{N}}$

where, M = molarity of solution and N is normality of solution. Molar conductance of strong electrolyte depends on the concentration.

$\wedge_\text{m}=\wedge^\circ_{\text{m}^-}\text{b}\sqrt{\text{C}}$

  3. 273.54 × 10-4
  4. 192.1 × 10-4
Answer
  1. (b) 279

Explanation:

Equivalent conductance ofCaSO4:

$\alpha^\infty_{\text{CaSO}_4}=\lambda^\infty_{\text{Ca}^{2+}}+\lambda^\infty_{\text{SO}_4^{2-}}$

$\lambda^\infty_{\text{Ca}^{2+}}=(\mu_{\text{Ca}^{2+}})\text{F};\lambda^\infty_{\text{SO}^{2-}_4}=(\mu_{\text{SO}^{2-}_4})\text{F}$

$\mu_{\text{Ca}^{2+}}$ and $\mu_{\text{SO}_4^{2-}}$ - are ionic mobilities.

$\alpha^\infty_{\text{CaSO}_4}=\text{F}(12.33+16.58)\times10^{-4}$

$=96500\times10^{-4}\times28.91=279$

  1. (c) 27.9

Explanation:

$\alpha=\frac{\alpha_\text{C}}{\alpha^\infty}\Rightarrow0.1=\frac{\alpha_{\text{C}}}{279}\Rightarrow\alpha_\text{C}=27.9$

  1. (c) KCl > NaCl > LiCl

Explanation:

The ions formed are Li+, Na+ and K+, the hydration is maximum in case of Li+ because of which its mobility is least and has least conductance. Therefore, the correct order is KCl > NaCl > LiCl.

  1. (a) ohm-1 cm2 eq-1
  1. (c) 273.54 × 10-4

Explanation:

$\alpha^\circ_{(\text{m}\text{CaCl}_2)}=\lambda^\circ_{\text{Ca}^{2+}}+2\lambda^\circ_{\text{Cl}^-}$

= (118.88 × 10-4) + 2(77.33 × 10-4)

  1. To calculate the emf of the cell, which of the foUowing options is correct?
  1. emf = Ecathode - Eanode
  2. emf = Eanode - Ecathode
  3. emf = Eanode + Ecathode
  4. None of these.
Answer
  1. (b) 4 × 10-15

Explanation:

$0.059=\frac{+0.059}{2}\log\frac{0.001}{[\text{M}^{2+}]}$

$\log\frac{0.001}{[\text{M}^{2+}]}=2$ or $[\text{M}^{2+}]=10^{-5}$

Let solubility of sah be S mol/ litre.

Thus, $\text{MX}_2\xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ }\text{M}^{2+}+2\text{X}^-\\\ \ \text{S}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{S}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 2\text{S}$

$\therefore\text{K}_\text{sp}=4\text{S}^3=4\times(10^{-5})^3=4\times10^{-15}$

  1. (d) -11.4

Explanation:

$\triangle\text{G}=\text{nFE}=-2\times96500\times0.059$

= -11387 J mol-1 = -11.4 kJ mol-1

  1. (a) 7.6 × 1012

Explanation:

$\text{E}^\circ_\text{cell}=\frac{0.059}{1}\log\text{K}_\text{C}$

$\text{E}^\circ_\text{cell}=\text{E}^\circ_\frac{{\text{Fe}^{2+}}}{{\text{Fe}^{3+}}}+\text{E}^\circ_\frac{\text{Ce}^{4+}}{\text{Ce}^{3+}}$

$= -0.68 + 1.44 = 0.76 \text{V}$

$\log_{10}\text{K}_\text{C}=\frac{0.76}{0.059}=12.88$

$\text{K}_\text{C}=7.6\times10^{12}$

  1. (b) 2.287 × 10-12 mol3 L-3

Explanation:

$\text{E}_\text{cell}=\frac{0.059}{1}\log\frac{[\text{Ag}^+]_\text{RHS}}{[\text{Ag}^+]_\text{LHS}}$

$0.164=\frac{0.059}{1}\log\frac{0.1}{[\text{Ag}^+]_\text{LHS}}$

$[\text{Ag}^+]_\text{LHS}=1.66\times10^{-4}\text{M}$

So, $[\text{CrO}^{2-}_4]=\frac{1.66\times10^{-4}}{2}$

$\text{K}_\text{Sp}(\text{Ag}_2\text{CrO}_4)=[\text{Ag}^+]^2[\text{CrO}_4^{2-}]$

$= (1.66\times10^{-4} )^2\Big(\frac{1.66\times10^{-4}}{2}\Big)$

$=2.287\times10^{-12} \text{mol}^{3} \text{L}^{-3}$

Answer

  1. (b) $\text{E}_\text{cell}>0;\Delta\text{G}<0$

Explanation:

$\ \ \text{M}\ \xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ }\text{M}^++\ \ \text{e}^-\$1\text{M})\ \ \ \ (0.05\text{M})$

For concentration cell, $\text{E}_\text{cell}=\frac{0.059}{1}\log\frac{0.05}{1}$

$\text{E}_\text{cell}=\frac{0.059}{1}\log(5\times10^{-2})$

$\text{E}_\text{cell}=\frac{0.059}{1}[(-2)+\log5]-0.059(-2+0.698)$

$= -0.059(-1.302) = 0.0768 $

$\Delta\text{G}=-\text{nFE}_\text{cell}$

If Ecell is positive, $\Delta\text{G}$ is negative.

  1. (c) 154mV

Explanation:

$\frac{\text{E}_1}{\text{E}_2}=\frac{\log0.05}{\log0.0025}$

$\frac{\text{E}_1}{\text{E}_2}=\frac{\log5\times10^{-2}}{\log25\times10^{-4}}$

$\text{E}_1=0.0768$

$\frac{0.0168}{\text{E}_2}=\frac{-1.3}{-2.6}=\frac{1}{2}$ or $\text{E}_2=154\text{mV}$

  1. (c) > 1

Explanation:

$\text{K}=\text{antilog}\Big(\frac{\text{nE}^\circ}{0.0591}\Big)$

For feasible cell, Eº is positive, hence from the above equation, K > 1 for a feasible cell reaction.

  1. (b) 0
  1. (a) Concentration ofions in solution.
