(ii) In the measurement of specific resistance of a metallic wire, a DC power supply is used. Here, if we apply DC current through the conductivity cell, it will lead to the electrolysis of the solution taken in the cell. So, AC current is used for this measurement to prevent electrolysis
(iii) A wheatstone bridge is constituted using known resistances P, Q, a variable resistance S and conductivity cell (Let the resistance of the electrolytic solution taken in it be R) as shown in the figure. An AC source (550 Hz to 5 KHz) is connected between the junctions A and C. Connect a suitable detector (Such as the telephone ear piece detector) between the junctions 'B' and 'D'.
(iv) The variable resistance (S) is adjusted until the bridge is balanced and in this conditions there is no current flow through the detector.
Under balanced condition,
\(\frac { P }{ Q } =\frac { R }{ S } \)
\(\therefore R=\frac { P }{ Q } \times S\)

Kohlraush's law:
(i) At infinite dilution, the limiting molar conductivity of an electrolyte is equal to the sum of the limiting molar conductivities of its constituent ions. i.e., the molar conductivity is due to the independent migration of cations in one direction and anions in the opposite direction.
(ii) For a uni - univalent electrolyte such as NaCl, the Kohlraush's law is expressed as
\(\left(\Lambda_{\mathrm{m}}^{0}\right)_{\mathrm{NaCl}}=\left(\lambda_{\mathrm{m}}^{0}\right)_{\mathrm{Na}^{+}}+\left(\lambda_{\mathrm{m}}^{0}\right)_{\mathrm{Cl}}^{-}\)

b) Calculation of molar conductance at infinite dilution for weak electrolytes experimentally.
(i) However, the same can be calculated using Kohlraush's Law. For example, the molar conductance of CH3COOH, can be calculated using the experimentally determined molar conductivities of strong electrolytes HCl, NaCl and CH3COONa.
\(\Lambda_{\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COONa}}^{0}=\lambda_{\mathrm{Na}^{+}}^{0}+\lambda_{\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COO}^{-}}^{0} \) ..........(1)
\(\Lambda_{\mathrm{HCl}}^{0}=\lambda_{\mathrm{H}+}^{0}+\lambda_{\mathrm{Cl}^{-}}^{0} \) .........(2)
\(\Lambda_{\mathrm{NaCl}}^{0}=\lambda_{\mathrm{Na}^{+}}^{0}+\lambda_{\mathrm{Cl}^{-}}^{0}\) ...........(3)
(ii) Equation (1) + Equation (2) - Equation (3) gives,
\(\left(\Lambda_{\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COONa}}^{0}\right)+\left(\Lambda_{\mathrm{HCl}}^{0}\right)-\left(\Lambda_{\mathrm{NaCl}}^{0}\right)=\lambda_{\mathrm{H}+}^{0}+\lambda_{\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COO}-}^{0} \)

The anode half cell is \({ Zn }_{ (s) }|{ Zn }_{ (aq) }^{ 2+ }\)

Electrochemical cells are mainly classified into the following two types.
(i) Galvanic Cell ( Voltaic cell) : It is a device in which a spontaneous chemical reaction generates an electric current i.e., it converts chemical energy into electrical energy. It is commonly known as a battery.
(ii) Electrolytic cell : It is a device in which an electric current from an external source drives a nonspontaneous reaction i.e., it converts electrical energy into chemical energy.

30.
E = EO- 2.303 \(\frac { RT }{ 2F } \) log Zn2+
EZn2+/Zn = EZn2+/ Zn- 2.303 \(\frac { RT }{ 2F } \) log [Zn2+]
31.
Cell reactions:
Oxidation at anode: \(Cd_{(s)}\rightarrow Cd^{2+}_{(aq)}+2e^{-}\); (E0ox)cd|cd2+ = 0.40V ; (E0)cd|cd2+ = -0.40V
Reduction at cathode: \(Cu^{2+}_{(aq)}+2e^{-}\rightarrow Cu_{(s)} \); (E0red)cu2+|Cu = +0.34V
Adding: \(Cd_{(s)}+Cu^{2+}_{(aq)}\rightarrow Cd^{2+}_{(aq)}+Cu_{(s)}\)
E0cell=(E0ox)+(E0red)
=(-0.4) + 0.34V
= 0.74V.
Emf is +ve, so \(\Delta G\) is -ve, the cell reaction is feasible.
32.
\(\kappa=\mathrm{C}\left(\frac{l}{\mathrm{~A}}\right)\) (or) k = 1/R.l/A
Where, C - Conductance
\(\frac{l}{A} \Rightarrow\) Cell constant (or)
Sp. Conductance \(\propto\) Cell constant
Sp. Conductance \(\propto\) Concentration
1. Sp. Conductance = concentration x cell constant
i) \(\kappa=0.1 \times 0.5=0.05=5 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{Scm}^{-1}\)
ii) \(\kappa=0.1 \times 0.25=0.025=2.5 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{Scm}^{-1}\)
2. So the first case will have greater specific conductance with cell constant 0.05.
33.
Anodic oxidation:
The electrode at which the oxidation occurs is called the anode. In Daniel cell, the oxidation take place at zinc electrode, i.e., zinc is oxidised to Zn2+ ions and the electrons. The Zn2+ ions enters the solution and the electrons enter the zinc metal, then flow through the external wire and then enter the copper strip. Electrons are liberated at zinc electrode and hence it is negative (-ve).
\({ Zn }_{ (s) }\longrightarrow { Zn }^{ 2+ }{ _{ (aq) } }+ 2{ e }^{ - } \) (loss of electron-oxidation)
Cathodic reduction:
The electrons flow through the circuit from zinc to copper, where the Cu2+ ions in the solution accept the electrons, get reduced to copper and the same get deposited on the electrode. Here, the electrons are consumed and hence it is positive (+ve).
\({ Cu }^{ 2+ }_{ (aq) }+{ 2e }^{ - }\longrightarrow { Cu }_{ (s) } \)(gain of electron-reduction)
34.
\({ E }_{ cell }={ E }_{ cell }^{ o }-\frac { Rt }{ nF } In\frac { [{ C] }^{ l }[{ D] }^{ m } }{ [{ A] }^{ x }{ [B] }^{ y } } \) (or)
\({ E }_{ cell }={ E }_{ cell }^{ o }-\frac { 2.303RT }{ nF } \log\frac { [{ C] }^{ l }[{ D] }^{ m } }{ [{ A }]^{ x }[{ B }]^{ y } } \)
35.
(i) An electrochemical cell consists of two half cells. With an open circuit, the metal electrode in each half cell transfers its ions into solution.
(ii) Thus, an individual electrode develops a potential with respect to the solution
(iii) The potential of a single electrode in a half cell is called single electrode potential
36.
The electrochemical equivalent is defined as the amount of substance deposited or liberated at the electrode by a charge of 1 coulomb.
m = z (If I = 1 ampere and t = second).
37.
The greater the Eo value means greater is the tendency shown by the species to accepts I electrons and undergo reduction. So higher the (Eo) values lesser is the tendency to undergo corrosion.
38.
The cell voltage depends on the nature of the electrodes, the concentration of the electrolytes and the temperature at which the cell is operated.
39.
(i) \({ \Lambda }_{ m }^{ o }{ BaCl }_{ 2 }={ \lambda }_{ { Ba }^{ 2+ } }^{ o }+2{ \lambda }_{ { Cl }^{ - } }^{ o }\)
(ii) \({ \Lambda }_{ m }^{ o }{ Al }_{ 2 }{ { (SO }_{ 4 }) }_{ 3 }=2{ \lambda }_{ { Al }^{ 3+ } }^{ o }+2{ \lambda }_{ { { So }_{ 4 }^{ 2- } } }^{ o }\)
40.
Conductivity, molar conductance and equivalent conductance increases with dilution whereas Conductance (C) decreases.
41.
l = 1.5 cm = 1.5 × 10-2m
A = 4.5 cm2 = 4.5 × (10-4)m2
R = 15Ω
\(\kappa = \frac{1}{R}(\frac{l}{A})\)
\(\kappa = \frac{1}{15\Omega}\times\frac{1.5\times10^{-2}m}{4.5\times10^{-4}m^2}\)
= 2.22 ohm-1 m-1
= 2.22 Sm-1
42.
The oxidation potential of M1 is more +ve than the oxidation potential of Fe which indicates that it will prevent iron from rusting.
