Saturated solution of KNO₃ is used to make 'salt-bridge' because:

(1) velocity of K⁺ is greater than that of ${\mathrm{NO}}_3^{-}$

(2) velocity of ${\mathrm{NO}}_3^{-}$ is greater than that of K⁺

(3) Velocities of both K⁺ and ${\mathrm{NO}}_3^{-}$ are nearly the same

(4) KNO₃ is highly soluble in water

A silver cup is plated with silver by passing 965 coulomb of electricity. The amount of Ag deposited is:

(1) 1.08 g

(2) 1.0002 g

(3) 9.89 g

(4) 107.89 g

At 25°C, molar conductance of 0.1 molar aqueous solution of ammonium hydroxide is 9.54 Ω^-1 cm² mol^-1 and at infinite dilution, its molar conductance is 238 Ω^-1 cm² mol^-1. The degree of ionization of ammonium hydroxide at the same concentration and temperature is

1. 2.080 %

2. 20.800 %

3. 4.008 %

4. 40.800 %

When a copper wire is immersed in a solution of AgNO₃, the colour of solution becomes blue because copper:

(1) forms a soluble complex with AgNO₃

(2) is oxidised to Cu²⁺

(3) is reduced to Cu^2-

(4) splits up into atoic form and dissolves

The specific conductance of a 0.1 M KCl solution at 23$°\mathrm{C}$ is 0.012 ${\mathrm{\Omega }}^{-1}{\mathrm{cm}}^{-1}$.
The resistance of the cell containing the solution at the same temperature
was found to be 55 $\mathrm{\Omega }$. The cell constant will be:

1. 0.142 cm^-1
2. 0.66 cm^-1
3. 0.918 cm^-1
4. 1.12 cm^-1

The standard reduction potential at 290 K for the following half reactions are,

(i) Zn²⁺ + 2e— → Zn(s);      E° = -0.762 V

(ii) Cr³⁺ + 3e → Cr(s);          E° = -0.740 V

(iii) 2H⁺ + 2e → H₂(g); ·      E° = -0.000 V

(iv) Fe³⁺ + e → Fe²⁺;         E° = +0.77V

Which is the strongest reducing agent?

(1) Zn

(2) Cr

(3) Fe²⁺

(4) H₂

The Zn acts as sacrificial or cathodic protection to prevent rusting of iron because:

(1) $E_{OP}^{\circ }$ of Zn < $E_{OP}^{\circ }$ of Fe

(2) $E_{OP}^{\circ }$ of Zn > $E_{OP}^{\circ }$ of Fe

(3) $E_{OP}^{\circ }$ of Zn = $E_{OP}^{\circ }$ of fe

(4) Zn is cheaper than iron
