  • Question 1/14
    1 / -0.25

    Only One Option Correct Type

    This section contains  multiple choice questions. Each question has four choices (a), (b), (c) and (d), out of which ONLY ONE is correct.

    Q.

    Cl2 gas is passed into a solution containing KF, Kl and KBr, and CHCI3 is added. There is a colour in CHCI3 (lower) layer. It is due to  

    Solutions

    Based on electro chemical series, oxidising power of
    F2 >Cl2 >Br2 >I2

    On passing Cl2 in to a solution containing KF, Kl and KBr,
    2KBr + Cl2 →2KCI + Br2 (orange)
    2KI + Cl2   →2KCI + l2 (violet)
    2KI + Br2 →2KBr + l2 (violet)
    Br2 formed also oxidises Kl to l2 (violet)

  • Question 2/14
    1 / -0.25

     

    Select the correct statement(s) about galvanic cell (Daniell cell) with E°cell ​  = 1.10 V

     

    Solutions

     

     

    E ° cell = 1.10 V
    (a) Hence , when Eext  <1.10 V, reaction continues till the Eext   reaches 1.10 V and
    Zn(s) + Cu2+ (aq) →Cu(s) + Zn2+ (aq)
    thus , zinc dissolves at anode and Cu deposits at cathode.
    (b) When Eext = 1.10 V , no reaction.
    (c) When Eext >1.10V, reverse reaction takes place,

    It now acts as electrolytic cell.
    Zinc deposits at zinc plate which is now the cathode (+ ve plate) and Cu dissolves as Cu2+ at copper plate which is now the anode (- ve plate)

     

     

  • Question 3/14
    1 / -0.25

    Given, 

    E ° Ag+ /Ag  = 0.80 V
    E ° Mg2+ /Mg = -2.37 V
    E ° Cu2+ /Cu = + 0.34V  
    E ° Hg2+ /Hg  = 0.79V

    Q.

    Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct?

    Solutions

    Based on electro chemical series, reactivity series is

    (a) 2Ag+ + Cu →Cu2+  2Ag
    Cu is a better reducing agent than Ag hence Ag+ is reduced by Cu. Thus AgNO3 can not be stored in copper vessel.
    (b) Cu2+ + Mg → Mg2+ + Cu
    Mg will reduce Cu2+ to Cu thus can not be stored.
    (c) Cu2+ + 2Ag →Cu + 2 Ag+
    Cu is better reducing agent hence CuCI2 can be stored in silver vessel.
    (d) Hg2+ + Cu →Cu2+ + Hg
    Cu is better reducing agent. Hence, HgCI2 can not be stored in copper vessel. 

  • Question 4/14
    1 / -0.25

    One mole of Ag2 CO3  is strongly heated in an open vessel. Residue wll be  

    Solutions

    Oxides of the metals are decomposed to metals if in electro chemical series , Eored >0 .7 9 V

    For A g, E ° Ag+ /Ag = 0.80 V hence Ag2 O is decomposed to metals. Products are Ag , CO2 and O2 . Since reaction takes place in an open vessel, CO2 and O2 escape from mixture, residue being 2 moles of silver.

  • Question 5/14
    1 / -0.25

    Zinc ,silver and iron plates are dipped in CuSO4 solutions placed  in different vessels as shown:

     

    Blue colour of CuSO4 fades in  

    Solutions

    Blue colour fades or changes to colourless if Cu2+ is reduced to Cu.

    In electrochemical series  (ECS), reactivity order is  Zn, Fe, Cu, Ag

    Thus, Zn and Fe reduce Cu2+ to Cu but Ag does not reduce Cu2+ . Thus, in I and III, CuSO4 changes to colourless or fades by zinc and iron plates.

  • Question 6/14
    1 / -0.25

    For the following half -cell reactions ,E ° values are:

    Mn2+ (aq) + 2H2 O(l)   MnO2 (s) + 4H+ (aq) + 2e- , E 0  = -1.23V

    MnO- 4  (aq) + 4H+(aq) +3e-    MnO2 (s) + 2H2 O(l), E0  = +1.70 V

     Thus  

    Solutions

    3Mn2+ (aq) + 2MnO4- (aq)+ 2H2 O  (/) →5MnO2 (s) + 4H+  E °cell   = 0.47 V
    Since E °cell >0, hence spontaneous.
    Thus, Mn2+ is oxidised to MnO2 by MnO4- in acidic medium.

  • Question 7/14
    1 / -0.25

    Which of the following statement is correct?

    Solutions

    E °cell  remains unchanged on division , thus intensive property.

    Δr G is dependent on the division , thus extensive property.

  • Question 8/14
    1 / -0.25

     
    Then

    Solutions


    Since E °cell  <0, disproportionation of Sn2+ to Sn4+ (by oxidation) and Sn (by reduction) is not spontaneous.

  • Question 9/14
    1 / -0.25

    Consider some facts about Standard Hydrogen Electrode(SHE).

    I. It is assigned a zero potential at all temperature corresponding to the reaction.

    II. Platinum electrode coated with platinum black is dipped in acidic solution and H2 gas is bubbled through it.
    III. Concentration of both are oxidised and reduced forms of hydrogen is maintained at unity.

     Select the correct facts

    Solutions


    It is oxidation half-cell

    H2  (reduced part) is at 1 bar. H+ (oxidised part) is at 1 M. 

    It is reduction half-cell

    In this case also, oxidised and reduced parts are at unity.

    Then (I), (II) and (III) are correct facts.

  • Question 10/14
    1 / -0.25

    The gas X at 1 atm is bubbled through a solution containing a mixture of 1 M Y- and 1 M Z- at 298 K.If the standard reduction potential

    then,

    Solutions


    In ECS, pair with more negative values of E °red reducing agent is above oxidising agent.
    Thus, Z/Z-  is the best reducing agent

    Thus, Z-  will reduce both X and Y and itself will be oxidised to Z .

  • Question 11/14
    1 / -0.25

    The standard reduction potential values of three metallic cations X, Y, Z are 0.52, -3.03 and -1.18 V respectively. The order of reducing power of the corresponding metals is

    Solutions

    E °x = - 0.52 V
    E °y = -3.03 V
    E °z = - 1.18 V

    Their placements in ECS is in order Y >Z >X.
    Thus, reducing nature is also in same order y >Z >X

  • Question 12/14
    1 / -0.25

    A solution containing one mole per litre each of Cu(NO3 )2  ,AgNO3  ,Hg2 (NO3 )2 and Mg(NO3 )2   is being electrolysed using inert electrodes. The value of standard redution potentials are

     

    with increasing voltage , the sequence of deposition of metals on the cathode will be

    Solutions

    These metals based on E °red values are placed in the following order:


    Mg will reduce and Ag+ to metals Cu, Hg, Ag.
    Cu will reduce and Ag+ to Hg, Ag, Hg will reduce Ag+ to Ag.
    Ag+ is reduced by all metals thus Ag first. Hg2+ is reduced by Cu, Mg thus Hg. Cu2+ is reduced by Mg only, thus Cu.
    Thus, deposition : 

  • Question 13/14
    1 / -0.25

    The standard reduction potentials at 298K for the following half-cell are given

    Which is the strongest reducing agent?

    Solutions

    In electrochemical series (ECS), elements have been arranged in the increasing standard reduction potential starting from most negative to most positive value w.r.t. SHE (E °she = 0.00 V).

    Most negative standard reduction potential means most easily oxidised and thus is the best reducing agent.

    OR Reducing agent in (ECS) is always above oxidising agent. Thus, Zn(s) is the best reducing agent in given set.

  • Question 14/14
    1 / -0.25

    The Eo M3+ /M 2+   values for Cr, Mn, Fe and Co are - 0.41 V, +1,57 V, + 0.77 V and m /m 1.97 V respectively. For which one of these metals the change in oxidation state from +2 to +3 is easiest?

    Solutions


    Mn3+ + e-  →Mn2+ + 1.57 V
    Fe3+ + e-  →Fe2+  + 0.77 V
    Co3+ + e-  →Co2+ + 1.97  

    Cr3+ /Cr2+ with most negative E °red is the best reducing agent.
    Cr2+ →Cr3+ + e-  , E °= 0.41 V
    Thus, is oxidised from Cr2+ to Cr3+ most easily.
