Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  • A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III

     

  • A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II

     

  • A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV

     

  • A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I

     

(1)

H2O2H++12O2+2e-

   No. of Faradays required for one mol=2F(A-II)

          MnO4-+5e-Mn2+

    No. of Faradays required for one mol=5F(B-IV)

         Ca2++2e-Ca

    No. of Faradays required for 1.5 mol=1.5×2=3F(C-I)

         Fe2+Fe3++e-

No. of Faradays required for one mol=1F(D-III)



Q 2 :    

Mass in grams of copper deposited by passing 9.6487 A current through a voltmeter containing copper sulphate solution for 100 seconds is

(Given: Molar mass of Cu = 63 g mol-1, 1F = 96487 C)              [2024]

  • 3.15 g

     

  • 0.315 g

     

  • 31.5 g

     

  • 0.0315 g

     

(2)

Given,

Current (I)=9.6487 A,  Time(t)=100 seconds

1F = 96487 C

Reaction : Cu(aq)2++2e-Cu(s)

Here, 2 electrons are exchanged, so valency factor (n)=2.

Applying Faraday’s first law, W=ZIt      (Z=Equivalent weightF=632×96487)

So, W=63×9.6487×1002×96487=0.315 g



Q 3 :    

On electrolysis of dil. sulphuric acid using platinum (Pt) electrode, the product obtained at anode will be          [2020]

  • hydrogen gas

     

  • oxygen gas

     

  • H2S gas

     

  • SO2 gas

     

(2)

During electrolysis of dilute sulphuric acid the following reaction takes place at anode:

2H2O(l)O2(g)+4H(aq)++4e-;  Ecell=+1.23 V

i.e., O2(g) will be liberated at anode.



Q 4 :    

The number of Faradays (F) required to produce 20 g of calcium from molten CaCl2 (Atomic mass of Ca = 40 g mol-1) is             [2020]

  • 1

     

  • 2

     

  • 3

     

  • 4

     

(1)

Ca(aq)2++2e-Ca(s)2F(1 mole=40g)1F20g

Thus, one Faraday is required to produce 20 g of calcium from molten CaCl2.

 



Q 5 :    

During the electrolysis of molten sodium chloride, the time required to produce 0.10 mol of chlorine gas using a current of 3 amperes is            [2016]

  • 55 minutes

     

  • 110 minutes

     

  • 220 minutes

     

  • 330 minutes

     

(2)

During the electrolysis of molten sodium chloride, 

At cathode : 2Na++2e-2Na

At anode :  2Cl-Cl2+2e-

_______________________________Net reaction :2Na++2Cl-2Na+Cl2_______________________________

According to Faraday’s first law of electrolysis, W=Z×I×t

W=E96500×I×t

No. of moles of Cl2 gas × Mol. wt. of Cl2 gas

=Eq. wt. of Cl2 gas×I×t96500

0.10×71=35.5×3×t96500

t=0.10×71×9650035.5×3=6433.33 sec

t=6433.3360 min=107.22 min110 min



Q 6 :    

The number of electrons delivered at the cathode during electrolysis by a current of 1 ampere in 60 seconds is (charge on electron = 1.60×10-19 C)        [2016]

  • 6×1023

     

  • 6×1020

     

  • 3.75×1020

     

  • 7.48×1023

     

(3)

Q=I×t

Q=1×60=60 C

Now, 1.6×10-19C1 electron

  60C601.6×10-19=3.75×1020 electrons



Q 7 :    

When 0.1 mol MnO42- is oxidised, the quantity of electricity required to completely oxidise MnO42- to MnO4- is             [2014]

  • 96500 C

     

  • 2×96500 C

     

  • 9650 C

     

  • 96.50 C

     

(3)

The oxidation reaction is

M+6nO42-0.1 mol M+7nO4-0.1 mol+e-

Q=0.1×F=0.1×96500 C=9650 C



Q 8 :    

The weight of silver (at. wt. = 108) displaced by a quantity of electricity which displaces 5600 mL of O2 at STP will be            [2014]

  • 5.4 g

     

  • 10.8 g

     

  • 54.0 g

     

  • 108.0 g

     

(4)

According to Faraday’s second law,

WAgEAg=WO2EO2  or  WAg108=560022400×328

or   WAg108=88      WAg=108 g
