In galvanic cell, the salt bridge is used to
complete the circuit
reduce the electric resistance in the cell
separate cathode from anode
carry salts for the chemical reaction
A.
complete the circuit
The main functions of the salt bridge are:-
(a) To complete the electrical circuit by allowing the ions to flow from one solution to the other without mixing of the two solutions.
(b) To maintain the electrical neutrality of the solutions in the two half cells.
A cell, with cell constant 0.4 cm-1, has the resistance of 40 ohm of a 0.01 M solution of an electrolyte, then the molar conductivity in ohm-1 cm2 mol-1 will be

If the standard elelctrode potential for the cell Zn | Zn2+ (aq) || Cu2+ (aq) | Cu is 1.10 V, then the maximum work done by this cell will be
-106.15 kJ
-212.30 kJ
-318.45 kJ
-424.60 kJ
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 H+ ions is larger when Pt electrode is taken
On the basis of the information available from the reaction,
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
