Q : Solve these questions in your register.
1. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
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 500 mL of
this solution is electrolyzed. 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.
(i) What is the total number of moles of chlorine gas evolved in the above process?
(ii) If cathode is a Hg electrode, then what is the maximum weight of amalgam formed from
this solution?
(iii) In the electrolytes, how many number of moles of electrons are involved?
(iv) In electrolysis of aqueous NaCl solution when Pt electrode is taken, then which gas
is liberated at cathode? Why?
2. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
The electrodes potential of an electrode can be determined by connecting this half-cell
with a standard hydrogen electrode. The electrode potential of the standard hydrogen
electrode is taken as zero. The electrode potential of a metal electrode as determined
with respect to a standard or normal hydrogen electrode is called standard electrode
potential (E°).
1. What type of electrode is used in the above experiment?
2. What is the concentration of HCl solution taken above?
3. Why is the standard hydrogen electrode called a reversible electrode?
