(B) 1. In electrolysis, the cation moves towards cathode and is reduced to
corresponding metal by gaining electron; where as the anion moves
towards the anode and is oxidised to the corresponding non-metal by
losing electrons, Since both oxidation and reduction take place during
electrolysis, it is considered as a redox reaction. 1
2. A.C. current causes discharge and ionisation to alternate at the cathode
thus giving no effective coating. 1
... 2 ... Set-B
3. The O2 gas evolved at the anode oxidises carbon anode to carbon
monoxide which giving CO2.
2C + O2 → 2CO
2CO + O2 → 2CO2
Carbon anode is hence consumed and replaced after a certain period
of usage. 1
4. Ammonium nitrate is not used since it is explosive in nature and may
itself decompose forming nitrous oxide and water vapour. 1
5. Although SO2 is an acid anhydride of sulphuric acid, it is not directly
absorbed in water as the reaction is highly exothermic resulting in the
formation of a dense fog, which is dif cult to condense. 1

3. Red mud is the insoluble impurity such as iron (III) oxide etc. left behind
on treating the ore with sodium hydroxide or caustic soda. The impurities
are removed by dissolving the ore in sodium hydroxide followed by
ltration. 1
4. Sodium hydroxide is used for concentration of bauxite.
Bauxite is digested with conc. soln. of NaOH under pressure. Being
amphoteric, it reacts with NaOH forming salt and H2O. Moreover the
impurities present (Fe2O3 and SiO2) in bauxite remain unaffected with
conc. alkali soln. Hence it is used to remove impurities in bauxite ore. 1
