When a copper wire is immersed in a solution of AgNO3, the colour of the solution becomes blue because copper:
1. Forms a soluble complex with \(AgNO_3\)
2. Is oxidised to \(Cu^{2+}\)
3. Is reduced to \(Cu^{2-}\)
4. Splits up into atomic form and dissolves
If an iron rod is dipped in CuSO4 solution, then:
1. Blue colour of the solution turns red.
2. Brown layer is deposited on iron rod.
3. No change occurs in the colour of the solution.
4. None of the above.
Without losing it's concentration, ZnCl2 solution cannot be kept in contact with :
1. Au
2. Al
3. Pb
4. Ag
A gas X at 1 atm is bubbled through a solution containing a mixture of 1MY- and 1MZ- at 25C. If the reduction potential of Z > Y > X, then:
1. Y will oxidise X and not Z
2. Y will oxidise Z and not X
3. Y will oxidise both X and Z
4. Y will reduce both X and Z
A solution containing one mole per litre each of Cu(NO3)2, AgNO3, Hg2(NO3)2 and Mg(NO3)2 is being electrolyzed by using inert electrodes. The values of standard electrode potentials in volt (reduction potentials) are,
Ag+ /Ag = 0.80 V, /2Hg = 0.79 V,
Cu2+/Cu = +0.34 V and Mg2+/Mg = -2.37 V
With increasing voltage, the sequence of deposition of metals on the cathode will be:
1. Ag, Hg, Cu, Mg
2. Mg, Cu, Hg, Ag
3. Ag, Hg, Cu
4. Cu, Hg, Ag
Each of the three metals X, Y and Z were put in turn into aqueous solution of the other two.
Which observation is probably incorrect?
1. Y + Salt of X = No action observed
2. Y + Salt of Z = Z + Salt of Y
3. Z + Salt of X = X + Salt of Z
4. Z + Salt of Y = No action observed
The cell potential for this reaction is 0.46V. Which of the following change will increase the potential the most ?
(1) concentration is doubled
(2) [Cu2+] concentration is halved
(3) Size of Cu(s) electrode is doubled
(4) size of Ag(s) electrode is decreased to half
Which of the following is an incorrect statement :-
1. Mercury cell is a primary cell providing a constant potential
2. During recharging lead storage cell works as electrolytic cell
3. Galvanised iron does not rust
4. In electrolytic cell reduction occurs at anode and in galvanic cell oxidation takes place at anode
Select the incorrect statement for dry cell
(1) Mn is reduced from Mn+4 to Mn+3
(2) NH3 gas libreted out
(3) Zn is used as anode
(4) Paste of NH4
Cl and ZnCl2 is used
Assertion : In electrochemical cell, we cannot use in the salt bridge if anodic or cathodic
compartment consists of of ion.
Reason : Salt bridge is employed to maintain the electrical neutrality and to minimize the liquid-liquid
junction potential.
