    Solutions to In-Text Questions Ex 3.1 to 3.15

    Question 3.1 How would you determine the standard electrode potential of the system Mg^{2+} | Mg ?
    Answer :

    To determine the standard electrode potential of the given system we need to use a hydrogen electrode. In the setup, we shall put a hydrogen electrode as cathode and Mg | MgSO 4 as an anode.

    1643888463274 Now we will measure the emf of the cell. This emf will be the standard electrode potential of the magnesium electrode.

    E°cell = E° right – E°left
    E°left =0 ( The standard hydrogen electrode is always zero)
    Hence
    E^{o}cell = E^{o} Mg|Mg^{2+}

    Question 3.2 Can you store copper sulphate solutions in a zinc pot?

    Answer:

    The standard electrode potential of Zinc is - 0.76 whereas that of Copper is 0.34. So Zinc will reduce copper into the lower state.

    It is known that zinc is more reactive than copper. Thus if we will store copper sulphate solution in zinc pot then zinc will displace copper from its solution.

    The following reaction will take place:-

    Zn \:+\:CuSO_{4}\rightarrow ZnSO_{4}\:+\:Cu

    Question 3.3 Consult the table of standard electrode potentials and suggest three substances that can oxidise ferrous ions under suitable conditions.

    Answer :

    The oxidising strength of elements increases as the standard electrode potential increases.

    So all the elements having greater standard potential than iron can oxidise it to a higher state.

    Few such elements are :- F 2 , Cl 2 , Br 2 , Ag +1 etc.

    Question 3.4 Calculate the potential of hydrogen electrode in contact with a solution whose pH is 10.

    Answer :

    It is given that pH of the solution is 10,i.e., the hydrogen ion concentration in the solution is 10 -10 M.

    1643888510951

    By Nernst equation we have :-

    E_{Cell} = E_{cell}^{\circ}\ - \frac{RT}{2F}ln \frac{1}{\left [ H^+ \right ]}

    So, = 0 - \frac{0.0591}{1}log \frac{1}{\left [ 10^{-10} \right ]}

    or = -\ 0.591\ V

    So the required potential is - 0.591 V.

    Question 3.5 Calculate the emf of the cell in which the following reaction takes place:

    Ni(s)+2Ag^{+} (0.002M)\rightarrow Ni^{2+}(0.160M)+ 2Ag(s)

    Given that E^{\Theta }_{(cell) }= 1.05 \, V

    Answer :

    Here we can directly apply the nernst equation :-

    E_{Cell} = E_{cell}^{\circ}\ - \frac{0.0591}{n}log \frac{[Ni^{+2}]}{\left [ Ag^+ \right ]^2}

    Putting the value in this equation :-

    = 1.05\ - \frac{0.0591}{2}log \frac{0.160}{(0.002)^2}

    or = 1.05\ - 0.02955\ log (4\times10^4)

    or = 0.914\ V

    Hence the required potential is 0.914 V.

    Question 3.6 The cell in which the following reaction occurs:
    2Fe^{3+}(aq)+2I^{-}(aq)\rightarrow 2Fe^{2+}(aq)+I_{2}(s) has E^{0}_{cell}=0.236\, V at 298 K.
    Calculate the standard Gibbs energy and the equilibrium constant of the cell reaction.

    Answer :

    For finding Gibbs free energy we know the relation :-

    \Delta G_r^{\circ} = -\ nFE_{cell}^{\circ}

    = -\ 2\times96487\times 0.236

    = -\ 45541.864\ J\ mol^{-1}

    = -\ 45.54\ KJ\ mol^{-1}

    Now, for equilibrium constant we will use :-

    \Delta G_r^{\circ} = -2.303\ RTlog\ K_c

    So, logK_c = -\frac{-45.54\times10^3}{2.303\times8.314\times298}

    or logK_c = 7.981

    or K_c = 9.57\times10^7

    Question 3.7 Why does the conductivity of a solution decrease with dilution?

    Answer :

    The conductivity of a solution depends upon the number of ions and the distance between them. In the process of dilution, we don't increase the number of ions in the solution instead we increase the distance between them. So the conductivity of the solution decreases due to dilution.

    Question 3.8 Suggest a way to determine the \Lambda ^{0}_{m} value of water.

    Answer :

    We know :

    \Lambda _m=\Lambda _m^{\circ} - A c^{\frac{1}{2}}

    If we draw a straight line between \Lambda _m and \sqrt c , its slope will be -A and the intercept on the y-axis will be \Lambda _m^{\circ} .

    In this way, we can obtain the value of limiting molar conductivity.

    Question 3.8 The molar conductivity of 0.025 mol L^{-1} methanoic acid is 46.0 \, S cm^2\, S\, cm^2 mol ^{-1}
    Calculate its degree of dissociation and dissociation constant. Given \lambda ^{0}(H+)=349.6 \, S cm^{2} mol ^{-1} and \lambda ^{0}(HCOO^{-})=54.6\,\: S\, cm^{2}\, \: mol^{-1}

    Answer :

    We know that :-

    \Lambda _m = \lambda^{\circ}(H^+) + \lambda^{\circ}(HCOO^-)

    = 349.6 +54.6

    = 404.2\ Scm^2\ mol^{-1}

    For degree of dissociation, we have :-

    \alpha = \frac{\Lambda _m(HCOOH)}{\Lambda ^{\circ}(HCOOH)}

    or \alpha = \frac{46.1}{404.2} = 0.114

    For dissociation constant, we have :-

    K_a = \frac{c\alpha ^2}{1-\alpha }

    or K_a = \frac{0.025\times(0.114)^2}{1-0.114 }

    or = 3.67\times 10^{-4}\ mol\ L^{-1}

    Question 3.10 If a current of 0.5 ampere flows through a metallic wire for 2 hours, then how many electrons would flow through the wire?

    Answer :

    Firstly we will find total charge flown through the wire then we will calculate number of electrons.

    We are given :- I = 0.5 A, Time = 2 hours = 7200 seconds.

    We have, Q = I.t

    = (0.5)7200 = 3600 C.

    Now we will convert charge into number of electrons.

    We know that 96487\ C = 6.023\times10^{23}\ No.\ of\ electrons

    So toal number of electrons :

    =\frac{3600}{96487}\times 6.023\times10^{23}

    or =2.25\times 10^{22} no. of electrons will flow through wire.

    Question 3.11 Suggest a list of metals that are extracted electrolytically.

    Answer :

    Metals like Na, Mg, Al, etc. are produced on a large scale by electrochemical reduction of their respective cations or by the process electrolysis because there are no suitable reducing agents available for this purpose.

    Question 3.12 Consider the reaction: Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}+ 14H^+ + 6e^-\rightarrow 2cr^{3+} + 7H_{2}O
    What is the quantity of electricity in coulombs needed to reduce 1 mol of Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-} ?

    Answer :

    It is clear from the given reaction that reduction of 1 mol of Cr 2 O 7 2- will be

    = 6 F (as 6 electrons are required to balance the reaction; Charge required = nF)

    = 6\times96500

    = 579000\ C

    Thus 578922 C charge is required for reduction of 1 mol of Cr 2 O 7 2- .

    Question 3.13 Write the chemistry of recharging the lead storage battery, highlighting all the materials that are involved during recharging.

    Answer :

    The lead storage battery can be recharged by reversing the direction of current passing through it.

    For recharging PbSO 4 is converted into Pb at the anode and into PbO 2 at the cathode.

    The chemical reactions are as follows:-

    1643888556447

    Question 3.14 Suggest two materials other than hydrogen that can be used as fuels in fuel cells.

    Answer :

    The two materials are methane and methanol that can be used as fuels in fuel cells.

    Question 3.15 Explain how rusting of iron is envisaged as setting up of a electrochemical cell.

    Answer :

    The chemistry of corrosion is quite complex but it can be understood by considering it as an electrochemical phenomenon. Consider a particular spot on an object where corrosion takes place. At here oxidation takes place and this spot behaves as the anode. The released electrons at anodic spot go through the metal and go to another spot on the metal and reduction of oxygen takes place in the presence of H+. This spot behaves as a cathode with the reaction. In this way this analogy is possible.

    Question 3.1 Arrange the following metals in the order in which they displace each other from the solution of their salts.
    Al, Cu, Fe, Mg and Zn.

    Answer :

    The order in which metals displace each other from the solution of their salts can be given with the help of their standard electrode potential. Since magnesium has the least standard electrode potential so it is the most strong reducing agent. So the required order we get is:-

    Mg > Al > Zn > Fe > Cu


    Question 3.2 Given the standard electrode potentials,

    K^{+}/K=-2.93V , Ag^{+}/Ag=0.80V,

    Hg^{2+}/Hg=0.79V

    Mg^{2+}/Mg=-2.37V, Cr^{3+}/Cr =-0.74 V

    Arrange these metals in their increasing order of reducing power.

    Answer :

    Elements with reducing power or reducing agents have least/minimum standard electrode potential i.e., reducing power increases with a decrease in standard electrode potential. So the result obtained is:-

    K > Mg > Cr > Hg > Ag

    Zn (s) | Zn +2 (aq) || Ag + (aq) | Ag (s)

    Clearly Zn electrode is negatively charged.

    Question 3.3(ii) Depict the galvanic cell in which the reaction

    Zn(s)+2Ag^{+}(aq)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}(aq)+2Ag(s) takes place.

    Answer :

    The reaction taking place at both cathode and anode are shown below :-

    (i) Cathode reaction :-

    Ag^+_{(aq)} + e^- \rightarrow Ag_{(s)}

    (ii) Anode reaction :-

    Zn_{(s)}\ \rightarrow Zn^{2+}_{(aq)}\ +\ 2 e^-

    Question 3.4(i) Calculate the standard cell potentials of galvanic cell in which the following reactions take place:

    2Cr(s)+3Cd^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}(aq)+3Cd

    Calculate the \Delta _{r}G^{e} and equilibrium constant of the reactions.

    Answer :

    The galvanic cell of the given reaction is shown below:-

    1646201684726

    The standard electrode potential of Cr and Cd can be found in table of standard electrode potential.

    So, we get :

    E^{\circ} = E^{\circ}_R\ -\ E^{\circ} _L

    = -0.40\ -\ (-0.74)

    =\ 0.34\ V

    Now

    \Delta G_r^{\circ}\ = -\ nFE_{cell}^{\circ}

    Putting values :

    \Delta G_r^{\circ}\ = -\ 6\times96487\times 0.34

    = -196.83\ KJ\ mol^{-1}

    Now for finding equlilibrium constant we have :

    log\ k = \frac{-\Delta G _r^{\circ}}{2.303\times R\times T}

    or log\ k = 34.496

    or K = 3.13\times10^34

    Question 3.4(ii) Calculate the standard cell potentials of galvanic cell in which the following reactions take place:

    Fe^{2+}(aq)+Ag^{+}(aq)\rightarrow Fe^{3+}(aq)+Ag(s)

    Calculate the \Delta _{r}G^{e} and equilibrium constant of the reactions.

    Answer :

    The galvanic cell of the given reaction is shown below :-

    1643888607928

    We can know about the electrode potential of Fe and Ag with the help of table of standard electrode potential.

    We have : E_{(cell)}^{\circ} = E_{R}^{\circ} - E_{L}^{\circ}

    or = 0.80 - 0.77

    or = 0.03\ V

    Now consider : \Delta G_r^{\circ} = -\ nFE_{(cell)}^{\circ}

    or = -1\times96487\times0.03

    = -2.89\ KJ\ mol^{-1}

    Now for equilibrium constant :

    log\ K =\ -\frac{\Delta G_r^{\circ}}{2.303\times RT}

    or =\ -\frac{-2894.61}{2.303\times 8.314\times298}

    or =\ 0.5073

    Thus k\ \approx \ 3.2

    Question 3.5(i) Write the Nernst equation and emf of the following cells at 298 K:

    (i) Mg(s)| Mg^{2+}(0.001M)|| Cu^{2+}(0.000.1M)|Cu(s)

    Answer :

    The nernst equation gives :

    E_{Cell} = E_{cell}^{\circ}\ - \frac{0.059}{n}log \frac{[Mg^{2+}]}{\left [ Cu^{2+} \right ]}

    This gives,

    = {0.34 - (-2.36)} - \frac{0.059}{2}log \frac{0.001}{ 0.0001}

    or = 2.7 - 0.02955

    or = 2.67\ V

    So the emf of the cell is 2.67 V.

    Question 3.5(ii) Write the Nernst equation and emf of the following cells at 298 K:

    (ii) Fe(s)|Fe^{2+}(0.001M)||H^{+}(1M)|H_{2}(g)(1 bar)|Pt(s)

    Answer :

    The nernst equation for this gives :

    E_{Cell} = E_{cell}^{\circ}\ - \frac{0.0591}{n}log \frac{[Fe^{+2}]}{\left [ H^+ \right ]^2}

    This gives : = 0 - (-0.44)- \frac{0.0591}{2}log \frac{0.001}{1^2}

    or = 0.44 - 0.02955(-3) = 0.53\ V

    Thus the emf of the given galvanic cell is 0.53 V.

    Question 3.5(iii) Write the Nernst equation and emf of the following cells at 298 K:

    (iii) Sn(s)|Sn^{2+}(0.050M)||H^{+}(0.020M)|H_{2}(g)(1 bar)Pt(s)

    Answer :

    The nernst equation for this reaction gives :-

    E_{Cell} = E_{cell}^{\circ}\ - \frac{0.0591}{n}log \frac{[Sn^{+2}]}{\left [ H^+ \right ]^2}

    Now for emf, just put all the values.

    E_{Cell} =0 - (-0.14) - \frac{0.0591}{2}log \frac{0.050}{0.020^2}

    or = 0.14 - 0.0295 \times log125

    or = 0.14 - 0.062 = 0.078\ V

    Thus emf of the cell is 0.078 V.

    Question 3.5(iv) Write the Nernst equation and emf of the following cells at 298 K:

    Pt(s)|Br^{-}(0.010M)|Br_{2}(1)||H^{+}(0.030 M)| H_{2}(g)(I bar)Pt(s)

    Answer :

    The nernst equation of the given reaction gives :

    E_{Cell} = E_{cell}^{\circ}\ - \frac{0.0591}{n}log \frac{1}{\left[Br^-]^2 [ H^+ \right ]^2}

    or =(0-1.09)\ - \frac{0.0591}{2}\ log \frac{1}{(0.010)^2 (0.030)^2}

    or =-1.09\ - 0.02955\times\ log(1.11\times10^7)

    or =-1.09\ - 0.208 =\ -1.298\ V

    So the required emf of the cell is -1.298 V.

    Question 3.6 In the button cells widely used in watches and other devices the following reaction takes place:

    Zn (s)+ Ag_{2}O(s)+H_{2}O(l)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}(aq)+2Ag(s)+2OH^{-}(aq)

    Determine \Delta_{r}G^{e} and E^{e} for the reaction.

    Answer :

    The given reaction is obtained from :-

    1643888647683

    So the E o cell can be obtained directly.

    E_{cell}^{\circ} = 0.76 - (-0.344) = 1.104\ V

    Now for free energy calculation, we have :-

    \Delta G_r^{\circ} = -nFE^{\circ}_{cell}

    or = -2\times96487\times1.04

    or = - 213043.29\ J

    or = - 213.04\ KJ

    Question 3.7 Define conductivity and molar conductivity for the solution of an electrolyte. Discuss their variation with concentration.

    Answer :

    Conductivity(k) or specific conductance of a solution is defined as the inverse of resistivity.

    Mathematically, it can be written as:-

    G = \kappa \frac{A}{L}

    In the above equation is \kappa the conductivity of a solution. Thus the definition of conductivity becomes as the conductance of a substance which is 1 cm long and has 1 sq. cm of cross-sectional area.

    With dilution conductivity of a solution decreases due to an increase in distance between ions.\

    Molar conductivity: - It is defined as the conductivity of a solution per unit concentration

    i.e., \Lambda _M\ =\ \frac{\kappa }{C}

    It is clear from the above mathematical expression of the molar conductivity that, if we dilute the solution or decrease its concentration then molar conductivity increases. This is because, on dilution of a solution, a decrease in is \kappa more than compensated by the increase in its volume.

    Question 3.8 The conductivity of 0.20 M solution of KCl at 298 K is 0.0248 S cm–1. Calculate its molar conductivity.

    Answer :

    We know that the molar conductivity of a solution is defined as:-

    \Lambda _M\ = \frac{\kappa }{C}

    Putting the value of conductivity and concentration in the above equation:-

    \Lambda _M\ = \frac{0.0248\times1000 }{0.20} = 124\ Scm^2\ mol^{-1}

    Question 3.9 The resistance of a conductivity cell containing 0.001M KCl solution at 298 K is 1500 ohm . What is the cell constant if conductivity of 0.001M KCl solution at 298 K is 0.146\times10^{-3}\ S cm^{-1} .

    Answer:

    We are given with conductivity of cell \kappa = 0.146\times10^{-3}\ S cm^{-1} and resistance R = 1500 \Omega .

    Also, Cell constant = \kappa\times R

    or = 0.146\times 10^{-3}\times 1500

    or = 0.219\ cm^{-1}

    Question 3.11 Conductivity of 0.00241 M acetic acid is 7.896\times 10^{-5} \: S cm^{-1} . Calculate its molar conductivity. If \Delta _{m}^{0} for acetic acid is 390.5 \: S cm^{2} mol^{-1} , what is its dissociation constant?

    Answer :

    Molar conductivity of a solution is given by :-

    \Lambda _M = \frac{\kappa }{C}

    So, = \frac{7.896\times10^{-5}}{0.00241}\times1000

    or = 32.76\ Scm^2\ mol^{-1}

    Also, it is given that \Lambda _m^{\circ}= 390.5\ Scm^2\ mol^{-1} .

    \alpha = \frac{\Lambda _m}{\Lambda _m^{\circ}}

    or \alpha = \frac{32.76}{390.5}

    \alpha = 0.084

    For dissociation constant we have,

    K_d\ = \frac{c\alpha ^2}{(1-\alpha )}

    so, = \frac{0.00241\times0.084^2}{(1-0.084 )}

    or = 1.86\times 10^{-5}\ mol\ L^{-1}

    Question 3.12(i) How much charge is required for the following reductions:

    (i) 1\ mol\ of\ Al^{3+}\ to\ Al\ ?

    Answer :

    The equation becomes :-

    Al^{+3}\ + 3e^-\ =\ Al

    So required charge is 3F.

    Q = n*96500

    Q = 3*96500 = 289500 C

    Question 3.12(ii) How much charge is required for the following reductions:

    (ii) 1\ mol \ of\ Cu^{2+}\ to\ Cu?

    Answer :

    The equation can be written as:-

    Cu^{2+}\ +\ 2e^-\ =\ Cu

    Thus charge required is =\ 2F

    = 2(96500) = 193000\ C

    Question 3.12(iii) How much charge is required for the following reductions:

    (iii) MnO_{4}^{-}\ to\ Mn^{2+}\ ?

    Answer :

    The given reaction can be written as:-

    Mn^{+7}\ +\ 5e^- =\ Mn^{+2}

    Thus charge required in above equation =\ 5F

    = 5(96500)

    = 482500\ C

    Question 3.13(i) How much electricity in terms of Faraday is required to produce

    (i) 20.0 g of Ca from molten CaCI_{2} ?

    Answer :

    The equation for the question is given by :-

    Ca^{2+}\ +\ 2e^-\ =\ Ca

    In this equation, for 1 mol of Ca, 2F charge is required or we can say that for 40 g of Ca charge required is 2F.

    So, for 20 g of Ca charge required will be = F = 96500 C.

    Question 3.13(ii) How much electricity in terms of Faraday is required to produce

    (ii)40.0 g of AI from molten AI_{2}O_{3} ?

    Answer :

    The equation for the given question is :-

    Al^{+3}\ + 3e^-\ =\ Al

    Thus for 1 mol of Al, charge required is 3F.

    So the required amount of electricity in terms of charge will be :-

    =\ \frac{3}{27}\times40F = 4.44F

    Question 3.14(i) How much electricity is required in coulomb for the oxidation of

    (i) 1 mol of H_{2}O\ to\ O_{2} ?

    Answer :

    According to question the equation of oxidation will be :-

    O^{2-}\ \rightarrow \ \frac{1}{2}O_2\ +\ 2e^-

    Thus, for oxidation of O 2- , 2F charge is required.

    = 2\times96500\ C

    = 193000\ C

    Question 3.14(ii) How much electricity is required in coulomb for the oxidation of

    (ii)1 mol of FeO\ to\ Fe_{2}O_{3} ?

    Answer :

    The oxidation equation for the given reaction will be :-

    Fe^{+2}\ \rightarrow\ Fe^{+3}\ +\ e^-

    So for oxidation of 1 mol Fe^{+2} charge required = 1F

    = 96500\ C

    Question 3.15 A solution of Ni(No_{3})_{2} is electrolysed between platinum electrodes using a current of 5 amperes for 20 minutes. What mass of Ni is deposited at the cathode?

    Answer :

    We are given:

    I = 5A

    and t = 20(60) = 1200 sec.

    So total charge = 5(1200) = 6000 C.

    The equation for nickel deposition will be:-

    Ni^{+2}\ +\ 2e^-\ \rightarrow\ Ni

    Thus, from 2F charge 58.7 g of nickel deposition takes place.

    i.e., 2(96487)\ C \rightarrow 58.7\ g\ Ni

    So for 6000 C charge total nickel deposition will be:-

    = \frac{58.7}{2\times96487}\times6000

    or = 1.825\ g

    Hence 1.825 g Ni will be deposited in the given conditions.

    Question 3.16 Three electrolytic cells A,B,C containing solutions of ZnSO_{4} , AgNO_{3} and CuSO_{4} , respectively are connected in series. A steady current of 1.5 amperes was passed through them until 1.45 g of silver deposited at the cathode of cell B. How long did the current flow? What mass of copper and zinc were deposited?

    Answer :

    Since the cells are connected in series so the current passing through each cell will be equal.(1.5 A)

    Now we are given that 1.45 g of silver is deposited. So firstly we will consider the cell containing silver.

    Ag^+\ +\ e^-\ \rightarrow Ag

    Since for deposition of 108 g silver 96487 C charge is required, thus for 1.45 g deposition of silver charge required will be:-

    = \frac{96487}{108}\times1.45 = 1295.43\ C

    Now we can find the time taken by 1.5 A current to deposit 1.45 g silver.

    Time\ taken = \frac{1295.43}{1.5} \approx 864\ sec.

    For copper:-

    Cu^{+2}\ + 2e^-\ =\ Cu

    Since 2F charge will deposit 63.5 g of Cu, then deposition by 1295.43 C will be:-

    = \frac{63.5}{2\times96487}\times1295.43 = 0.426\ g

    Hence 0.426 g of copper will be deposited.

    For zinc:-

    Zn^{+2}\ +\ 2e^-\ \rightarrow\ Zn

    Since 2F charge will deposit 65.4 g of Zn, then deposition by 1295.43 C will be:-

    = \frac{65.4}{2\times96487}\times1295.43 = 0.439\ g

    Hence 0.439 g of zinc will be deposited.

    Question 3.17(i) Using the standard electrode potentials given in Table 3.1, predict if the reaction between the following is feasible:

    (i) Fe^{3+}_{aq}\ and\ I^{-}_{aq}

    Answer :

    The concept used here will be that a reaction is feasible only if E_{cell} ^{\circ} is positive.

    Anode and cathode reactions will be as follows:-

    Fe^{3+}\ +\ e^-\ =\ Fe^{2+} E^{\circ}\ = 0.77\ V

    2I^{-}\ =\ I_2\ +\ 2e^- E^{\circ}\ = -0.54\ V

    So E_{cell} ^{\circ} = 0.77 - 0.54 = 0.23\ V

    So this reaction is feasible.

    Question 3.17(ii) Using the standard electrode potentials given in Table 3.1, predict if the reaction between the following is feasible:

    (ii) Ag^{+}_{aq}\ and\ Cu_{(s)}

    Answer :

    A reaction is feasible only if E_{cell} ^{\circ} is positive.

    So, anode and cathode reactions will be as follows :-

    (Ag^{+}\ +\ e^-\ =\ Ag)\times 2 E^{\circ}\ = 0.80\ V

    Cu\ =\ Cu^{+2}\ +\ 2e^- E^{\circ}\ = -0.34\ V

    and E_{cell} ^{\circ} = 0.80 - 0.34 = 0.46\ V

    So this reaction is feasible.

    Question 3.17(iii) Using the standard electrode potentials given in Table 3.1, predict if the reaction between the following is feasible:

    (iii) Fe^{3+}_{aq}\: and\ Br^{-}_{aq}

    Answer :

    A reaction is feasible only if E_{cell} ^{\circ} is positive.

    So, anode and cathode reactions will be as follows :-

    (Fe^{+3}\ +\ e^-\ =\ Fe^{+2})\times 2 E^{\circ}\ = 0.77\ V

    2Br^-\ =\ Br_2\ +\ 2e^- E^{\circ}\ = -1.09\ V

    and E_{cell} ^{\circ} = 0.77 - 1.09 = -0.32\ V

    So this reaction is not feasible.

    Question 3.17(iv) Using the standard electrode potentials given in Table 3.1, predict if the reaction between the following is feasible:

    Ag_{s}\ and\ Fe^{3+}_{aq}

    Answer :

    A reaction is feasible only if E_{cell} ^{\circ} is positive.

    So, anode and cathode reactions will be as follows:-

    Ag\ =\ Ag^{+}\ +\ e^- E^{\circ}\ = -0.80\ V

    Fe^{+3}\ +\ e^-\ =\ Fe^{+2} E^{\circ}\ = 0.77\ V

    and E_{cell} ^{\circ} = -0.80 + 0.77 = -0.03\ V

    So this reaction is not feasible.

    Question 3.17(v) Using the standard electrode potentials given in Table 3.1, predict if the reaction between the following is feasible:

    (v) 1643868790759Answer :

    A reaction is feasible only if E_{cell} ^{\circ} is positive.

    So, anode and cathode reactions will be as follows :-

    Br_2\ +\ 2e^-\ =\ 2Br^{-} E^{\circ}\ = 1.09\ V

    Fe^{2+}\ =\ Fe^{3+}\ +\ e^- E^{\circ}\ = -0.77\ V

    and E_{cell} ^{\circ} = 1.09 - 0.77 = 0.32\ V

    So this reaction is feasible.

    Question 3.18(i) Predict the products of electrolysis in each of the following:

    (i) An aqueous solution of AgNO_{3} with silver electrodes.

    Answer :

    For the given solution :

    At cathode :- Reaction with greater E 0 will take place.

    Ag^+\ +\ e^-\ =\ Ag_{(s)}

    At anode :-

    Ag\ +\ NO^{3-}\ =\ AgNO_3\ +\ e^-

    Hence, silver will get deposited at the cathode and it will be getting dissolved at anode.

    Question 3.18(ii) Predict the products of electrolysis in each of the following:

    (ii)An aqueous solution of AgNO_{3} with platinum electrodes.

    Answer :

    For the given solution :

    At cathode :- Reaction with greater E 0 will take place.

    Ag^+\ +\ e^-\ =\ Ag_{(s)}

    At anode :- Self ionisation will take place due to presence of water.

    H_2O\ \rightarrow\ 2H^+\ + \frac{1}{2}O_2\ +\ 2e^-

    Hence, silver will get deposited at the cathode and O 2 will be produced from anode.

    Question 3.18(iii) Predict the products of electrolysis in each of the following:

    (iii) A dilute solution of H_{2}SO_{4} with platinum electrodes.

    Answer :

    For the given solution :

    At cathode :- Reaction with greater E 0 will take place.

    H^+\ +\ e^-\ =\ \frac{1}{2}H_2_{(g)}

    At anode :- Self ionisation of water will take place due to presence of platinum electrode.

    H_2O\ \rightarrow\ 2H^+\ + \frac{1}{2}O_2\ +\ 2e^-

    Hence, H 2 gas will be generated at cathode and O 2 will be produced from anode.

    Question 3.18(iv) Predict the products of electrolysis in each of the following:

    (iv) An aqueous solution of CuCI_{2} with platinum electrodes.

    Answer :

    For the given solution :

    At cathode :- Reaction with greater E 0 will take place.

    Cu^{2+}\ +\ 2e^-\ =\ Cu_{(s)}

    At anode :-

    2Cl^-\ =\ Cl_2\ +\ 2e^-

    Hence, Cu will get deposited at cathode and Cl 2 will be produced from anode.

    Have a question related to CBSE Class 12th ?

    hello,

    Yes you can appear for the compartment paper again since CBSE gives three chances to a candidate to clear his/her exams so you still have two more attempts. However, you can appear for your improvement paper for all subjects but you cannot appear for the ones in which you have failed.

    I hope this was helpful!

    Good Luck

    Hello dear,

    If you was not able to clear 1st compartment and now you giving second compartment so YES, you can go for your improvement exam next year but if a student receives an improvement, they are given the opportunity to retake the boards as a private candidate the following year, but there are some requirements. First, the student must pass all of their subjects; if they received a compartment in any subject, they must then pass the compartment exam before being eligible for the improvement.


    As you can registered yourself as private candidate for giving your improvement exam of 12 standard CBSE(Central Board of Secondary Education).For that you have to wait for a whole year which is bit difficult for you.


    Positive side of waiting for whole year is you have a whole year to preparing yourself for your examination. You have no distraction or something which may causes your failure in the exams. In whole year you have to stay focused on your 12 standard examination for doing well in it. By this you get a highest marks as a comparison of others.


    Believe in Yourself! You can make anything happen


    All the very best.

    Hello Student,

    I appreciate your Interest in education. See the improvement is not restricted to one subject or multiple subjects  and  we cannot say if improvement in one subject in one year leads to improvement in more subjects in coming year.

    You just need to have a revision of all subjects what you have completed in the school. have a revision and practice of subjects and concepts helps you better.

    All the best.

    If you'll do hard work then by hard work of 6 months you can achieve your goal but you have to start studying for it dont waste your time its a very important year so please dont waste it otherwise you'll regret.

    Yes, you can take admission in class 12th privately there are many colleges in which you can give 12th privately.
