Answer Key & Explanation
1. Ans. Correct answer is 3

Explanation
Let us evaluate each statement one by one to determine whether

it is true or false:
(A) Conductivity always decreases with decrease in concentration

for both strong and weak electrolytes.
This statement is true. Conductivity is defined as the ability of a

solution to conduct electricity, and it depends on the
concentration of ions in the solution. As the concentration of ions
decreases, the conductivity of the solution also decreases,
regardless of whether the electrolyte is strong or weak.
(B) The number of ions per unit volume that carry current in a
solution increases on dilution.
This statement is false. The number of ions per unit volume in a

solution decreases on dilution, because the total number of ions in
the solution remains the same, but the volume increases.
(C) Molar conductivity increases with decrease in concentration.
This statement is generally true. Molar conductivity is a measure

of the ability of an electrolyte to conduct electricity, and it
depends on both the concentration of the electrolyte and the
mobility of the ions. As the concentration of the electrolyte
decreases, the molar conductivity increases because the ions
become more separated from each other, and the electrostatic
interactions between them become weaker, allowing them to
move more freely in the solution.
(D) The variation in molar conductivity is different for strong and
weak electrolytes.
This statement is true. The variation in molar conductivity with

concentration is different for strong and weak electrolytes. Strong
electrolytes dissociate completely in solution, so their molar
conductivity increases rapidly with dilution, while weak
electrolytes dissociate only partially, so their molar conductivity
increases more slowly with dilution.
(E) For weak electrolytes, the change in molar conductivity with

dilution is due to decrease in degree of dissociation.
This statement is false. For weak electrolytes, the change in molar

conductivity with dilution is due to an increase in the degree of
dissociation, not a decrease.
Therefore, there are 3 correct statements in the given options,

namely (A), (C), (D).

Explanation
Explanation
Using the Faraday's law of electrolysis, we can directly relate the
amount of substance deposited (in this case, the nickel layer) with
the electric charge passed through the electrolyte.
The formula for Faraday's law of electrolysis is:
where W is the amount of substance deposited (in grams), z is the

electrochemical equivalent (grams per coulomb), i is the current
(in amperes), and t is the time (in seconds).
By relating the density and volume of the nickel layer to the

electric charge passed through the electrolyte, we can calculate
the time needed for the deposition:
where v.f is the valence factor for the reaction (in this case, 2).
Solving for x, we get:

So, the value of x is 161 seconds.
Explanation
A. cell Ecell is an intensive parameter.
This statement is correct. The standard cell potential (cellEcell⊖)

is an intensive parameter because it depends only on the nature
of the reactants and the products, and not on the size or shape of
the electrodes or the amount of material present.
B. A negative E⊖ means that the redox couple is a stronger

reducing agent than the H+/H2 couple.
This statement is also correct. A negative standard reduction

potential (E⊖) for a redox couple indicates that the couple is a
stronger reducing agent than the standard hydrogen electrode
(H+/H2), which has a standard reduction potential of 0 V.
C. The amount of electricity required for oxidation or reduction

depends on the stoichiometry of the electrode reaction.
This statement is correct. The amount of electricity required for a

particular oxidation or reduction reaction depends on the number
of electrons involved in the reaction, which in turn depends on
the stoichiometry of the electrode reaction.
D. The amount of chemical reaction which occurs at any electrode

during electrolysis by a current is proportional to the quantity of
electricity passed through the electrolyte.
This statement is also correct. Faraday's laws of electrolysis state

that the amount of chemical reaction at an electrode during
electrolysis is directly proportional to the amount of electricity
passed through the electrolyte.
Therefore, all of the statements A, B, C, and D are correct.

Explanation
In this problem, we're considering three different half-cell
reactions involving lead ions.
The Gibbs free energy change for this process can be written
as is the standard cell potential, F is
Faraday's constant, and the factor of 2 is because two electrons
are involved in the reaction.
2) The reduction of Pb4+ ions to lead metal :
We can write the third reaction as the difference between the first
two reactions (i.e., reaction 2 - reaction 1). This implies that the
Gibbs free energy changes for these reactions should add up
accordingly :
Substituting the expressions for the Gibbs free energy changes
from the half-cell reactions into this equation, we get :

Explanation
Given that the specific conductance, and the

concentration, C, is 0.0025 M, we can find the molar
conductivity, as follows:
Next, we find the degree of dissociation, α, by dividing λm by the

limiting molar conductivity, λmo:
Finally, we use the formula for the dissociation constant of a weak

acid, Ka:
So, the correct answer is 66.

are −0.26 V, −0.41 V, + 1.57 V and + 1.97 V, respectively. The
metal ions which can liberate H2 from a dilute acid are

1. Ans. (D)
Explanation
Let's review each statement:
A. During charging of battery, PbSO₄ on anode is converted into

PbO₂.
• This statement is incorrect. During charging, PbSO₄ on the

anode (lead plate) is converted to Pb, not PbO₂.
B. During charging of battery, PbSO₄ on cathode is converted into

PbO₂.
• This statement is correct. During charging, PbSO₄ on the

cathode (lead dioxide plate) is converted back to PbO₂.
C. Lead storage battery consists of grid of lead packed with PbO₂

as anode.
• This statement is incorrect. The anode in a lead-acid battery

is made of lead (Pb), not lead dioxide (PbO₂). The cathode is
made of lead dioxide (PbO₂).
D. Lead storage battery has ∼38% solution of sulphuric acid as an

electrolyte.
• This statement is correct. The electrolyte in a lead-acid

battery is a solution of about 35-38% sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄)
in water.
Therefore, the correct answer is:

B, D only.
2. Ans. (B)
Explanation
The provided reaction is:
Looking at the options provided:
Option A: Doesn't involve H2 gas, so it can't be correct.
Option B: This includes the necessary elements - H2, AgCl, and Ag.
Option C: Doesn't involve AgCl, so it can't be correct.
Option D: Also includes the necessary elements - H2, AgCl, and Ag.
However, looking closely, we can see that Option B represents the

galvanic cell for this reaction. The reaction requires the oxidation
of H2 to H+, which occurs at the anode. The reaction also requires
the reduction of AgCl to Ag and Cl-, which occurs at the cathode.
In Option B, the anode (on the left) is where H2 is being oxidized

to H+. The cathode (on the right) is where AgCl is reduced to Ag
and Cl-. The salt bridge or ion exchange component is HCl, which
allows for the flow of ions to balance charge in the cell.
Therefore, the reaction occurs in the galvanic cell represented by

Option B.

24th Feb Morning Slot 2021
MCQ Answer Key
1. Ans. (A) 3. Ans. (D)

2. Ans. (D) 4. Ans. (C)
MCQ Explanation
Ans 1. Cell constant = (l/A) ⇒ Units = m−1

Molar conductivity (Λm) ⇒⇒ Units = Sm2 mole−1
Conductivity (K) ⇒ Units = S m−1
Degree of dissociation (α → Dimensionless
∴ (a) - (iii), (b) - (i), (c) - (iv), (d) - (ii)
Ans 2.
= 73.5 + 76.3 = 149.3 Scm2/mole

So, Statement I is wrong or false.
As the concentration decreases, the dilution increases which increases the degree of
dissociation, thus increasing the no. of ions, which increases the molar conductance.
So Statement II is false.
Ans 3.
Positive SRP and higher SRP means greater oxidising power. So, Ce4+ wants to
reduce to Ce3+. Indicates Ce4+ is less stable than Ce3+.
Ans 4. In the electrode potential series, only copper have positive value for
electrode potential because copper has lower tendency than hydrogen to form ions.
So, if standard hydrogen electrode (ECell = 0) is connected to copper half-cell, the
copper with be relatively less negative or less number of electrons.
