The standard reduction potential for the half-cell reaction, Cl2+2e−→2Cl− will be:
Pt2++2Cl−→Pt+Cl2,Ecell o=−0.15 V;
Pt2++2e−→Pt,Eo=1.20 V
A galvanic cell or simple battery is made of two electrodes. Each of the electrodes of a galvanic cell is known as a half cell. In a battery, the two half cells form an oxidizing-reducing couple.
When two half cells are connected via an electric conductor and salt bridge, an electrochemical reaction is started.
The given reaction is,
Pt2++2Cl−→Pt+Cl2,Ecell 0=−0.15 V
Anode:
2Cl(−)→Cl2+2e−
Cathode:
Pt2++2e−→Pt
The EMF of a cell is given by the following expressions:
EMF of a cell = Reduction potential of cathode − Reduction potential of anode
∴Ecell=ER−EL
−0.15=EPt2+/Pt−ECl2/Cl(−)
−0.15=1.20−E
E=1.20+0.15
E=1.35V
In the reaction 4Fe+3O2→4Fe3++6O2− which of the following statements is incorrect?
Given reaction,
4Fe+3O2⟶4Fe+3+6O2−
Clearly, given reaction is a redox reaction in which, Fe gets oxidised to Fe+3 by losing of three electrons, and O2, gets reduced to O2−.
Thus, Metalliciron (Fe) is a reducing agent and Fe+3 is an oxidising agent.
The physical adsorption of gases on the solid surface is due to:
The physical adsorption of gases on the solid surface is due toVan der wall's force.
When the force of attraction existing between adsorbate and adsorbent are weak Van der wall's of attraction, the process is called Physical Adsorption or Physisorption. When the force of attraction existing between adsorbate and adsorbent are chemical forces of attraction or chemical bond, the process is called Chemical Adsorption.
Which of the following is not a neutral ligand?
Neutral ligand means ligand with no charge on it.
Example: H2O, NH3, CO, C2 H4...
ONO- has a charge on it, therefore it is not a neutral ligand.

Electrical conductance through metals is called metallic or electronic conductance and is due to the movement of electrons. The electronic conductance depends on:
Electricity is conducted through an electrolytic solution due to the movement of ions called electrolytic conduction.
Electrical conductance depends upon-
An aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid:
An aqueous solution of hydrochloric acidshows negative deviation from Raoult's law.
Raoult's law states that the vapor pressure of a solvent above a solution is equal to the vapor pressure of the pure solvent at the same temperature scaled by the mole fraction of the solvent present, i.e.,
[Psolution =Xsolvent Psolvent ∘]
If the attraction between different molecules, for example between HCl and H2O molecules, is stronger, the escaping tendency from the solution to the vapour phase will be smaller, then the partial vapour pressure will be smaller than predicted by Raoult's law and the system exhibits a negative deviation.

The correct order of SN1 reactivity of the given bromides is:
Which of the following compounds give(s) positive test with Tollens' reagent?
A. Carboxylic acid
B. Alcohol
C. Alpha hydroxy ketones
D. Aldehydes
Alpha hydroxy ketones and Aldehydes give a positive test with Tollens' reagent.
Ketones generally don’t give positive test with Tollen’s reagent, but alpha hydroxyl ketones are an exception. Iodoform test, Ester test, etc., are used for alcohols. The litmus test, Sodium bicarbonate test and Ester test are used for carboxylic acid.
Exactly 1 g of urea dissolved in 75 g of water gives a solution that boils at 100.114∘C at 760 torr. The molecular weight of urea is 60.1. The boiling point elevation constant for water is:
Given:
Weight of solute (w)=1 g
Weight of solvent (W)=75 g
Boiling point of solution =100.114∘C
Boiling point of solvent =100∘C
Therefore,
△T=100.114−100=0.114∘C
Molecular weight of solute (m)=60.1
Boiling point elevation constant (K)=?
We know that:
m=1000×K×wΔT×W
or, K=m×ΔT×W1000×w
=60.1×0.114×751000×1
=513.81000
K=0.513
In ___________, a reaction product is itself a catalyst for that reaction leading to positive feedback.
In autocatalysis, a reaction product is itself a catalyst for that reaction leading to positive feedback.
A single chemical reaction is said to have undergone autocatalysis, or be autocatalytic, if one of the reaction products is also a reactant and therefore a catalyst in the same or a coupled reaction. The reaction is called an autocatalytic reaction. A catalyst is a substance that accelerates the rate of a chemical reaction but remains chemically unchanged afterwards.
Directions: These questions consist of two statements, each printed as Assertion and Reason. While answering these questions, you are required to choose any one of the following four responses.
Assertion : Exposure of ultraviolet rays to humans causes skin cancer, disorder and disrupts the immune system.
Reason : Carbon tetrachloride is released into air it rises to the atmosphere and depletes the ozone layer.
Carbon tetrachloride rises to the atmosphere and deplete the ozone layer. This depletion of ozone layer increases exposure of UV rays to human being which lead to increase of skin cancer, eye diseases and disorder with disruption of the immune system.
Which substance is not present in nucleic acid?
Guanidin is not present in nucleic acid and as cytosine, Adenine, Thymine and Guanine are the four main bases found in nucleic acid. Adenine and Guanine are purines while thymine and cytosine are pyrimidines. They together form triple bonded histones of DNA.
Guanidine is another compound which has a chemical formula HNC.
Rate of the reaction depends on:
Rate of reaction depends on temperature, concentration of the reactants and presence of catalyst.
Example:
1. At higher temperature, particles collide more frequently and with greater similarity.
2. CH4(g)+2O2(g)⟶CO2(g)+2H2O Faster rate
C25H52(g)+38O2⟶25CO2(g)+26H2O Slow rate
So, reaction depends on nature of reactants.
3. A catalyst is a species that speeds up a chemical reaction with being chemically changed upon completion of reaction.
