[Time : 90 Mins] TEST [Max. Marks : 35]

Note : 1. Electrochemistry chapter Weightage total marks 5 2. There will be no overall option. 3. Internal choices (either/or type) on a very selective basis has been provided. This choice has been given in one question 2 of marks, one questions of 3 marks and all the three questions of 5 marks weight age.

1.

How many faradays of electricity are required to liberate 2 moles of hydrogen gas in electrolysis of a solution?

2. 3. 4.

Why does an alkaline medium inhibit the rusting of iron? Define electrochemical equivalent of a substance? Explain why: (i) (ii) E0 for Mn3+/Mn2+ couple is more positive than that Fe3+/Fe2+. (At. No. Mn = 25, Fe = 26). Ce3+ can be easily oxidised to Ce4+ (At. No. Ce = 58).

5.

Express the relationship between the degree of dissociation of an electrolyte and its molar
conductivities.

6. 7.

What is electrical conductance of electrolyte solution? Give its unit also. A solution of CuSO4 is electrolysed for 10 minutes with a current of 1.5 amperes. What is the mass of copper deposited at the cathode?

8. 9.

What is Nernst equation ? Calculate molar conductance of acetic acid at infinite dilution from following values :
(HCl) = 426.0 ohm cm mol , m

(CH3COONa) = 91.0 ohm cm mol m

and

(NaCl) = 126.0 ohm cm mol m

10. 11.
