1 The electrical energy is used to bring about nonnon-spontaneous
spontaneous chemical transformation.
2 If the emf of the cell comes out to be zero or negative ,then the redox reaction is feasible.
3 The potential of a hydrogen electrode at PH =10 is - 0.59 V.
4 In a cell reaction
Cu(s) + 2Ag+(aq) → Cu2+ (aq) + 2Ag(s)
E Cell = + 0.46 V , by doubling the concentration of Cu2+ ions , E0Cell gets doubled.
0

5 The Positive value of the standard electrode potential of Cu2+/Cu couple indicates that Cu2+
ions get reduced more easily than H+ ions.

9. The quantity of change required to obtain 1 mole of Al from Al2O3 is 6F.
10 Electrolytic conductance generally decreases with rise in temperature.
11 Metallic conductance decreases with increase in temperature.
12 Out of HCl and NaCl, limiting molar conductivity of HCl is higher.
13 The unit of cell constant are cm-2.
14 In the electrolysis of molten PbBr2, Br2 is produced.
15 By passing
ssing 96500C of electricity through aqueous Al2O3, the amount of Al produced is 27g.
16 The unit of molar conductance are ohm-1 cm2 mol-1.
17 Conductance is reciprocal of resistance
18 Kohlrausch law is valid for weak electrolyte only.
19 The conductance, equivalent conductivity and molar conductivity increases with dilution.
20 ˄m for weak electrolyte increases as C decreases but does not reach a constant value even at
infinite dilution.
21 According to the following data:
E0 Cr2O72-/Cr3+ = 1.33V; E0 Cl2/Cl- = 1.36V; E0 MnO4-/Mn2+ = 1.51V; E0 Cr3+/Cr = - 0.74V
the strongest oxidizing agent is Cr3+

22 pH of brine solution increases when it is electrolysed.

23 When conductance of an electrolytic solution is equal to its conductivity, the value
va of cell
constant is unity.

26 Salt bridge prevents liquid
liquid-liquid
liquid junction potential and maintains neutrality of the solution.

27 In galvanic cell, the cathode is a – ve terminal of the cell.

28 In SHE the pressure of H2 gas should be 10 atm and pH of solution should be zero.

29 The amount of the product formed by the passage of 1 coulomb of electricity through
 electrolyte is called electrochemical equivalent of the substance.

30. A solution of copper (II) sulphate can be stored in iron vessel.

31 Mathematical expression of kholrausch’s law is ∧m0 = Vc∧c0 + Va ∧a0
