491.

In electrolysis of NaCl when Pt electrode is taken then H2 is liberated at cathode while with Hg electrode it forms sodium amalgam

  • Hg is more inert than Pt

  • more voltage is required to reduce H+ at Hg than at Pt

  • Na is dissolved in Hg while it does not dissolve in Pt

  • concentration of Hions is larger when Pt electrode is taken


492.

On the basis of the information available from the reaction,

43Al + O2  23 Al2O3

G = -827 kJ mol-1 of O2, the minimum emf required to carry out an electrolysis of Al2O3 is (F = 96500 mol-1)

  • 2.14 V

  • 4.28 V

  • 6.42 V

  • 8.56 V

4.5 g of aluminium (atomic mass 27 u) is deposited at cathode from Al3+ solution by a certain quantity of electric charge. The volume of hydrogen produced at STP from H+ ions in solution by the same quantity of electric charge will be

  • 44.8 L

  • 11.2 L

  • 22.4 L

  • 5.6 L

For the electrolysis of aqua CuSOsolution using inert Pt electrodes, the reaction on anode

  • 2SO42-  S2O32- + 212O2 + 2e-

  • Cu2+ + 2e- → Cu

  • 2H2O  → O2 + 4H++ 4e-

  • 2H+ + 2e- → H2


C.

2H2O  → O2 + 4H++ 4e-

For the electrolysis of aqueous CuSO4 solution using inert Pt electrodes, the reactions are

Cu2+ + 2e- → Cu (at cathode)

2H2O → O2 + 4H++ 4e(at anode)

In this process SO42- ions are not oxidised to S2O82- ions but H2O is oxidised to O2 and H+ ions because the standard reduction potential of S2O82-/ SO42- much higher than water.

By passing 9.65 A current for 16 min 40 s, the volume of O2 liberated at STP will be

  • 280mL

  • 560mL

  • 1120mL

  • 2240mL


498.
