1) An electrochemical cell generally consists of a cathode and an anode. Which of

the following statements is correct with respect to the cathode?
a) Oxidation occurs at the cathode
b) Electrons move into the cathode
c) Usually denoted by a negative sign
d) Is usually made up of insulating material
2) Which of the following conditions are satisfied when the cell reaction in the
electrochemical cell is spontaneous?
a) ΔG° > 0
b) E°cell < 0
c) E°cell = 0
d) ΔG° < 0
3) Assertion: On increasing dilution, the specific conductance keeps on
increasing.
Reason: On increasing dilution, the degree of ionisation of weak electrolyte
increases, and molality of ions also increases.
4) Why does the conductivity of a solution decrease with dilution?
5) Express the relation among the cell constant, the resistance of the solution in
the cell and the conductivity of the solution. How is the conductivity of a solution
related to its molar conductivity?
6) Two half cell reactions of an electrochemical cell are given below :
MnO–4(aq) + 8H+ (aq) + 5e– → Mn2+ (aq) + 4H2O (I), E° = + 1.51 V
Sn2+ (aq) → 4 Sn4+ (aq) + 2e–, E° = + 0.15 V
Construct the redox equation from the two half cell reactions and predict if this
reaction favours formation of reactants or product shown in the equation.
7) The molar conductivity of 0.025 mol L-1 methanoic acid is 46.1 S cm2 mol-1.
Calculate its degree of dissociation and dissociation constant Given λ°(H+)=349.6 S
cm2 mol-1 andλ°(HCOO-) = 54.6 S cm2 mol-1
8) Write the Nernst equation and emf of the following cells at 298 K:
(i) Mg(s)|Mg2+(0.001M)||Cu2+(0.0001 M)|Cu(s)
(ii) Fe(s)|Fe2+(0.001M)||H+(1M)|H2 (g)(1bar)| Pt(s)

9) Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:

All chemical reactions involve interaction of atoms and molecules. A large number
of atoms/molecules are present in a few gram of any chemical compound varying
with their atomic/molecular masses. To handle such large number conveniently,
the mole concept was introduced. All electrochemical cell reactions are also based
on mole concept. For example, a 4.0 molar aqueous solution of NaCl is prepared
and 500 mL of this solution is electrolysed. This leads to the evolution of chlorine
gas at one of the electrode. The amount of products formed can be calculated by
using mole concept.
The following questions are multiple choice questions. Choose the most
appropriate answer:
(i) The total number of moles of chlorine gas evolved is
(a) 0.5 (b) 1.0 (c) 1.5 (d) 1.9

(ii) If cathode is a Hg electrode, then the maximum weight of amalgam formed

from this solution is
(a) 300g (b) 446 g (c) 396 g (d) 256 g
or
The total charge (coulomb) required for complete electrolysis is
(a) 186000 (b) 24125 (c) 48296 (d) 193000

(iii) In the electrolytes, the number of moles of electrons involved are

(a) 2 (b) 1 (c) 3 (d) 4

(iv) In electrolysis of aqueous NaCl solution when Pt electrode is taken, then which
gas is liberated at cathode?
(a) H2 gas (b) Cl2 gas (c) O2 gas (d) None of these

10) i)A zinc rod is dipped in 0.1 M solution of ZnSO4. The salt is 95% dissociated at
this dilution at 298 K. Calculate the electrode potential.

ii)What is meant by ‘limiting molar conductivity’?

iii) The molar conductivity of a 1.5 M solution of an electrolyte is found to be

138.9 S cm2 mol-1. Calculate the conductivity of this solution.
