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)
43.
A reaction in which the rate is independent of the concentration of the reactant over a wide range of concentration is called a zero order reaction.
Let us consider the following by hypothetical zero order reaction.
A⟶ product
The rate law can be written as,
Rate = k[A]0
\(\frac { -d\left[ A \right] }{ dt } =k(1)\ \ \ \therefore \left( { \left[ A \right] }^{ 0 }=1 \right) \)
\(\Rightarrow -d\left[ A \right] =kdt\)
Integrate the above equation between the limits of [A0] at zero time and [A] at some later time 't',
\(-\int _{ \left[ { A }_{ 0 } \right] }^{ \left[ A \right] }{ d\left[ A \right] } =k\int _{ 0 }^{ t }{ dt } \)
\(-{ \left( \left[ A \right] \right) }_{ \left[ { A }_{ 0 } \right] }^{ \left[ A \right] }=k{ \left( t \right) }_{ 0 }^{ t }\)
[A0] - [A] = kt
\(k=\frac { \left[ { A }_{ 0 } \right] -\left[ A \right] }{ t } \)
Straight line equation y = mx + c
ie., \(\left[ A \right] =-kt+\left[ { A }_{ 0 } \right] \)
⇒ y = c + mx
A plot [A] vs time gives a straight line with a slope of -k and y intercept of [A0]
44.

(i) An acid is defined as a substance that has a tendency to donate a proton to another substance and base is a substance that has a tendency to accept a proton form other substance.
(ii) In other words, an acid is a proton donor and a base is a proton acceptor.
(iii) When hydrogen chloride is dissolved in water, it donates a proton to the later. Thus, HCI behaves as an acid and H2O is base. The proton transfer from the acid to base can be represented as
HCI + H2O ⇌ H3O+ + Cl-
(iv) When ammonia is dissolved in water, it accepts a proton from water. In this case, ammonia (NH3) acts as a base and H2O is acid. The reaction is represented as
H2O + NH3 ⇌ NH4+ + OH-
(v) Let us consider the reverse reaction following equilibrium.
\(\underset { proton\ donar\\ \quad \quad \ (acid) }{ HCl } +\underset { Proton\ acceptor\\ \quad \quad \quad \quad (base) }{ { H }_{ 2 }O } \leftrightharpoons \underset { Proton\ donar\\ \quad \quad \quad \quad \ (acid) }{ { H }_{ 2 }{ O }^{ + } } +\underset { Proton\ acceptor\\ \quad \quad \quad \quad \ (base) }{ { Cl }^{ - } } \)
H3O+ donates a proton to Cl- to form HCI i.e., the products also behave as acid and base.
(vi) In general, Lowry - Bronsted (acid - base) reaction is represented as
Acid1 + Base2 ⇌ Acid2 + Base1
(vii) The species that remains after the donation of a proton is a base (Base1) and is called the conjugate base of the Bronsted acid (Acid1). In other words, chemical species that differ only by a proton are called conjugate acid - base pairs.
