Q1-15: Chemical Effects of Electric Current

1 Which among these - distilled water, common salt solution, vinegar – is/are good conductor(s) of
electricity?

(A) All
(B) Only distilled water
(C) Only common salt solution and vinegar
(D) Only common salt solution
(E) Only vinegar

2 Which among the following statements is/are correct?

I. Solution of hydrochloric acid is a good conductor of electricity

II. Solution of sodium hydroxide is a poor conductor of electricity

(A) Only I (B) Only II (C) Both I and II (D) Neither I nor II

3 When common salt is added to water, the conductivity of water increases. Why?
Choose the best option.

(A) It is because common salt is a good conductor of electricity

(B) It is because common salt dissociates into positively charged and negatively charged ions and
these ions improve the conductivity
(C) It is because common salt contains free electrons and these electrons increase the conductivity

4 In the circuit shown on the right, which electrode will be plated

with metal ‘A’?

(A) Electrode of metal ‘A’ on the left

(B) Electrode of metal ‘B’ on the right
(C) None of the electrodes will be plated with copper

5 Use the picture given for above question. What would happen if
electrode of metal ‘B’ is replaced with graphite electrode, while
electrode of metal ‘A’ remains unchanged?

(A) Layer of metal ‘A’ would be deposited on electrode of metal ‘A’

(B) Layer of metal ‘A’ would be deposited on graphite electrode
(C) Electroplating would not happen

6 Which of the following statements is correct regarding the circuit shown

on the right? Both the electrodes are of same size.

(A) Electrode X will become thicker and electrode Y will become thinner
(B) Electrode X will become thinner and electrode Y will become thicker
(C) Both the electrodes will become thicker
(D) Both the electrodes will become thinner

7 Which among the following is/are example(s) of chemical effects of electric current?

I. Deposition of a metal on the electrodes dipped in a solution when electric current is passed
through it
II. Change in colour of a solution when electric current is passed through it using electrodes

(A) Only I (B) Only II (C) Both I and II (D) None

8 To put a coating of copper on an iron bar, a person dipped the iron bar in a beaker filled with
molten copper. Do you think this is an example of electroplating?

(A) Yes (B) No

9 Choose the correct statement/s related to electroplating.

I. Electroplating can be used to create a protective layer of one metal over another surface
II. Electric current is needed for electroplating

(A) Only I (B) Only II (C) Both I and II (D) None

10 Gold is to be deposited on iron; how should iron participate in the reaction?

(A) Iron should be the positive electrode

(B) Iron should be the negative electrode
(C) Iron should be in the solution in the beaker

11 Kenny and Sam are commenting on how current flows in the adjacent
electrolytic setup. Who among the two of them is correct?

Kenny: Copper ions move in aqueous medium from positively charged

terminal to negatively charged terminal.
Sam: Copper ions move in wires from negatively charged terminal to positively
charged terminal.

(A) Only Kenny (B) Only Sam

(C) Both Kenny and Sam (D) None
