There are two possible reactions for cathode in the electrolysis of aqueous
\(ZnCl_2\) :\(Zn^{2+}\) (aq) + 2\(e^-\) → Zn(s) \(E^0\) = -0.76 V
2\(H_2\)O (l) + 2\(e^-\) → H2 (g) + 2\(OH^-\) (aq) \(E^0\) = - 0.83 V
Which one will take place? Why?
What is meant by positive deviations from Raoult’s law ? Give an example. What is the sign of H for positive deviation ?
The conductivity of metals decreases while that of electrolytes increases with increase in temperature. Why?
State Kohlrausch law of independent migration of ions. Why does the conductivity of a solution decrease with dilution ?
Explain why :
(i) E° for Mn³⁺/Mn²⁺ couple is more positive than that for Fe³⁺/Fe²⁺. (At. Nos. Mn = 25, Fe = 26).
(ii) Ce³⁺ can be easily oxidized to Ce⁴⁺. (At. No.Ce = 58).
State Henry’s law. What is the effect of temperature on the solubility of a gas in a liquid ?
Explain the solubility rule “like dissolves like” in terms of intermolecular forces that exist in solutions.
