Q.1. Calculate quantity of electricity that will be required to liberate 710 g of Cl2
gas by electrolysing a conc. sol. of NaCl what weight of NaOH & what volume o fH2at 270
c & 1atm pressure i sobtained during process ?

Ans:    W = ZQ = ZTt =It =
Q          2Cl- Cl2+ 2e-


=

Q =
= 20 FQ = 1930000 coulomb.
1 F gives 1 eg. or 40g NaOH
20 F gives 20 eg. or 40 x 20 g = 800 NaOH
Also
1 F gives 1g eg. or 1 g H2

20 F gives 20 g eg. or 20 g H2

PV =
RT
1 x v =
x 0.0821 x 300

= 246.3 L
Q.2. Calculate volume of CL
2
at NTP produced during electrolysis of MgCl
2
which produces 6.5 g Mg. At wt. o fMG = 24.3.

Ans:
At Cathode
:      Mg2++ 2e- Mg

At Anode
:         2Cl- Cl2+ 2e
-

Eq. of Mg formed at cathode = Eq. of Cl2
formed at anode




= 18.99 gAt NTP    PV =RT    1 x v =x 0.0821 x 273



   Vol. of Cl2 = 5.99 L


Q.3. How long would it taice to deposit 100g ofAl for electrolytic cell containing Al2O3
using a current of 125 A ?

Ans: 2Al3++ 6e- 2A
l  Eq. wt of Al == 9    w = ZIt =
It    100 =x t
t = 8577.77 second.

Q.4. 3 ampere current was passed through an ag. solution of unknown salt of Pd for 1hr 2.977g of Pdn+
was deposited. atcathode. Find n(At. wt. of Pd = 106.4)

Ans: Pdn++ ne- Pd       w =It     



  n = 4Q.5. Electrolysis of a sol. of MnSO4in ag. H2SO4is method of preparation of MnO2.

(ag.) + 2H2OMnO2(s) + 2H+(ag.) + H1(g)
Passing a current of 27A for 24 hr. gives 1 Kg of MnO2
. What is value of current efficiency.

Ans:   w =                             Mn2+ Mn4++ 2e-

1000 =
            eq. wt. =          i = 25.6 A

  Current efficiency =x 100 = 94.8 %


Q.6. How many gms. ofsilver could be plated out on serving tray by elctrolysis of sol. containing Ag in +1 oxidation state for period of 8 hr at current o f8.46 A ? What is area of tray if thichness of silver plating is 0.00254 cm ? Density of silver is 10.5 g/cm3.

Ans:   wAg=
Eq wt. of Ag == 107.8    wAg== 272.18 g
  Volume of Ag deposited == 25.92 ml
  Surface area == 1.02 x 104cm2


Q.7. Calculate    Zn|Zn2+(ag) || Cu2+(ag.)|Cu    min. conc. of Cu2+at which cell rxn.    Zn + Cu2+(ag.)Zn2+(ag.) + Cu   will be spontanousif Zn2+is 1 M          
= 0.35 v     = - 0.76


Ans: At Anode   ZnZn2++ 2e-        At cathode Cu2++ 2e- Cu       
Zn + Cu2+ Zn2++ Cu       E0cell=-= E0cathode- E0anode        E0cell= 0.35 - (- 0.76) = 1.1 v       Ecell= E0cell+log10
For rxn. to be spontaneous,   Ecell= + ve      > - 1.11       log10[Cu2+] >        [Cu2+] > 2.36 x 10- 38M



Q.8. Calculate PH of following half cells solution   
Hcl        E = 0.25 vAns: H2 2H++ 2e-   

0.25 = 0 -log[H+]2
  - log[+] = 4.237
  PH = 4.237



Q.9. Calculate eqm. constant for rxn:    Fe2++ Ce4+ Fe3++ Ce3+      = 1.44 v                                                 
= 0.68 vAns: At eqm.   Ecell= 0    Ecell= E0cell-log10Kc     E0cell=log10Kc     E0cell= E0cathode- E0anode= 1.44 - 0.68 = 0.76 v
  log10Kc== 12.8814
  Kc= 7.6 x 1012
