    Electro Chemistry (Imp Question & answers)

    1. What is electrode potential?


    It is the equilibrium potential difference b/w the electrode and the solution containing its own ion.
    2. What is standard electrode potential?
    It is the equilibrium potential difference b/w electrode and is placed in the solution of
    concentration of 1 mol/L containing its own ions.
    3. What are galvanic cell give ex.
    It is the device which converts chemical energy into electrical energy.
    * It contains 2 half cell
    1. Oxidation cell. (Zn → 𝑍𝑛2+ (𝑎𝑞) + 2𝑒 −)
    2. Reduction cell. ( 𝐶𝑢2+ (𝑎𝑞) + 2𝑒 −→Cu )
    4. What is the role of salt bridge in galvanic cell?
    Maintain electric neutrality inside the galvanic cell.
    5. Why KCl is used in construction of salt bridge?
    It provides equal no. of K+ and Cl- ions.
    6. Write Nernst eqn for galvanic cell.
    𝟐.𝟑𝟎𝟑𝑹𝑻 [𝑴]
    𝑬 = 𝑬° − 𝒍𝒏
    𝒏𝑭 [𝑴𝒏+ ]
    7. Write symbolic representation of denial cell.
    Zn|𝒁𝒏𝟐+ ||𝑪𝒖𝟐+ |Cu
    8. Explain standard hydrogen electrode.

    This consists of gas at 1 atmospheric pressure bubbling over a platinum electrode immersed in 1 M HCl at
    25oC (298 K) as shown in figure. The platinum electrode is coated with platinum black to increase its
    surface. The hydrogen electrode thus constructed forms a half cell which on coupling with any other half
    cell begins to work on the principle of oxidation or reduction. Electrode depending upon the circumstances
    work both an anode or cathode.
    Cell reaction of standard hydrogen electrode (SHE) when it acts as anode is:
    H2(g)→2H++2e−
    It is as represented as
    H2(g)(1atm)Pt∣H3O(aq)+(1.0M)
    When it acts as cathode, the cell reaction is
    2H++2e−→H2(aq)
    and it is represented as
    H3O(aq)+(1.0M)∣(1atm)Pt

    9. What is the SI unit of Resistance?


     (Ohm)
    10. How is electrical resistance related to length and area of cross section of the object?

    𝑚2
    11. Define Resistivity. SI unit?
    It is the resistance when area of cross section is 1𝒎𝟐 and length is 1m w.r.t conductor.
    SI unit → m
    12. What is specific conductance?
    It is the reciprocal of resistivity. It is the conductance of of electrolytes when its volume is 1𝑚3 .
    13. State kohlrausch law.
    It state that limiting molar conductivity of an electrolyte can be represented as the sum of the individual
    contribution of the anion and cation of the electrolyte.
    14. What is molar conductivity?
    It is the molar conductance of 1 molar electrolyte when its volume is 1molesolution in 𝑐𝑚3 .
    15. State Faraday’s laws of electrolysis
    The laws state that
    Law 1: 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.
    Law 2: the amounts of different substances are liberated by the same quantity of electricity passing through the
    electrolytic solution are proportional to their chemical equivalent weights.
    16. What is secondary cell? Explain Dry cell or leclanche cell
    It is the cell can be recharge and reuse.
    Ex: lead storage cell

    Anode: Zinc container of the cell.
