According to Faraday ’s Second Law of Electrolysis the amounts of different substances liberated by the same quantity of electricity passing through the electrolytic solution are proportional:
Verify mobile number to view the solution
The amounts of different substances liberated by the same quantity of electricity passing through the electrolytic solution are proportional to their chemicalequivalent weights.
Charge on one mole of electrons i.e. one Faraday is approximately:
Charge on one electron is 1.6 x 10-19 C. 1 mole of electron 6.023 x 1023 electrons. So charge on one mole of electron = 1.6 x 10-19 C x 6.023 x 1023 = 96500 C mol-1
In the primary batteries,
Primary batteries cannot be recharged and reused.
A secondary cell after use ________ recharged by passing current through it in the ________ so that it can/can ’t be used again.
Secondary cell can be recharged and reused.
Fuel cells are _________ that are designed to convert the energy of combustion of fuels like hydrogen, methane, methanol, etc. directly into _________.
Setup of a Fuel cell:
In corrosion, a metal is _________ of electrons to oxygen and results in the formation of oxides.
In Corrosion, a metal is oxidized by loss of electrons and results in the formation of oxides.
One of the simplest methods of preventing corrosion is to prevent the surface of the metallic object to come in contact with atmosphere. This can be done:
The best way to prevent corrosion is to prevent the surface of the metallic objects to come in contact with the atmosphere.
An electrochemical method is to provide a sacrificial electrode of another metal (like Mg, Zn, etc.) which corrodes itself but saves the object. A typical example is
Galvanization is a process in which iron is coated with reactive metal like Zn which get corroded hence preventing iron from corrosion.
Electro-Galvanization:
Correct arrangement of Al, Cu, Fe, Mg and Zn in the order in which they displace each other from the solution of their salts is
A more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from the salt solution (refer to reactivity series).
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
Reactivity Series:
The standard emf of galvanic cell involving 3 moles of electrons in its redox reaction is 0.59 V. The equilibrium constant for the reaction of the cell is
The standard emf of a galvanic cell involving 3 moles of electrons in its redox reaction is 0.59V.
E ºcell = 0.59V n=3 The equilibrium constant for the reaction of the cell is given by the expression: ln K = RT nFE ºcell ln K = 8.314 ×298 ×3 ×96500 ×0.59 = 68.9 K ≈1030
The equilibrium constant for the reaction of the cell is 1030 .
