Electrochemistry plays a very important part in our daily life. Primary cells like dry cell is used in torches, wall clock, mercury cell is used in hearing aids, watches. Secondary cells Ni-Cd cell is used in cordless phones, lithium battery is used in mobiles, lead storage battery is used in vehicle and inverter. Fuel cells like H2 -O2 cell was used in apollo space programme. A 38% solution of sulphuric and is used in lead storage battery. Its density is 1.30 g mL -1. The battery holds 3.5 L of the acid. During the discharge of the battery, the density of H2 SO4 falls to 1.14 g mL -1 (20% solution by mass) (Molar mass of H2 SO4 is 98 g mol -1).

Metallic conductance involves movement of electrons where as electrolytic conductance involves movement of ions. Specific conductance increases with increase in concentration where as Am (molar conductivity) decreases with increase in concentration. Electrochemical cell converts chemical energy of redox reaction into electricity. Mercury cell, Dry cells are primary cells where as Ni-Cd cell, lead storage battery are secondary cells. Electroehemical series is arrangement of elements in increasing order of their reduction potential. Electrolytic cell converts electrical energy into chemical energy which is used in electrolysis. Amount of products formed are decided with the help of Faraday's laws of Electrolysis. Kohlrausch law helps to determine limiting molar conductivity of weak electrolyte, their degree of ionisation (\(\alpha\)) and their dissociation constants. Corrosion is electrochemical phenomenon. Metal undergoing corrosion acts as anode, loses electrons to form ions which combine with substances present in atmosphere to form surface compounds. More reactive metals are coated over less reactive metals to prevent corrosions. H2 -O2 fuel cell was used in apollo space programme.

(ii) (b): If redox reaction is spontaneous, \(\Delta G\) is -ve and hence, Eo is positive.
\(-\Delta G^{\mathrm{o}}=n F E^{\circ} \mathrm{cell}\)

(i) (a)
(ii) (d) : At higher concentration, mobility of ions decreases. Hence, conductance decreases.
(iii) (c) : Total number of ions will increase slightly on dilution (not considerably).

(i) (b)
(ii) (a)
(iii) (d) : A negative value of standard reduction potential means that oxidation takes' place on the electrode with reference to SHE.

(i) (b) : \(0.059=\frac{+0.059}{2} \log \frac{0.001}{\left[M^{2+}\right]}\)
\(\log \frac{0.001}{\left[M^{2+}\right]}=2 \text { or }\left[M^{2+}\right]=10^{-5}\)
Let solubility of salt be S mol/litre
\(\begin{array}{cc} \text {Thus,} \ M X_{2} & \rightarrow M^{2+}+2 X^- \\ S & S& 2 S \end{array}\)
\(\therefore\) Ksp = 4S3 = 4 x (10-5 )3 = 4 x 10-15
(ii) (d) : \(\Delta G=-n F E=-2 \times 96500 \times 0.059\)
= -11387 J mol-1 = -11.4 kJ mol-1
(iii) (a) : \(E_{\mathrm{cell}}^{\circ}=\frac{0.059}{1} \log K_{\mathrm{C}}\)
\(E_{\mathrm{cell}}^{\circ}=E_{\mathrm{Fe}^{2+} / \mathrm{Fe}^{3+}}^{\circ}+E_{\mathrm{Ce}^{4+} / \mathrm{Ce}^{3+}}^{\circ}\)
= -0.68 + 1.44 = 0.76 V
\(\log _{10} K_{C}=\frac{0.76}{0.059}=12.88\)
KC = 7.6 x 1012

(i) (b) : \(\begin{array}{l} M \longrightarrow M^{+}+e^{-} \\ (1 \cdot M)(0.05 M) \end{array}\)
For concentration cell, \(E_{\text {cell }}=-\frac{0.059}{1} \log \frac{0.05}{1}\)
\(E_{\text {cell }}=-\frac{0.059}{1} \log \left(5 \times 10^{-2}\right)\)
\(E_{\text {cell }}=-\frac{0.059}{1}[(-2)+\log 5]-0.059(-2+0.698)\)
= -0.059(-1.302) = 0.0768
\(\Delta G=-n F E_{\text {cell }}\)
If Ecell is positive, \(\Delta G\) is negative.
(ii) (c) : \(K=\operatorname{antilog}\left(\frac{n E^{\circ}}{0.0591}\right)\)
For feasible cell, Eo is positive, hence from the above equation K > 1 for a feasible cell reaction.

(i) (b) : \(n_{\mathrm{NaCl}}=\frac{4 \times 500}{1000}=2 \mathrm{~mol}\)
\(\therefore\) \(n_{\mathrm{Cl}_{2}}=1 \mathrm{~mol}\)
(ii) (b) : nNa deposited = 2 mol
\(\therefore\) nNa _ Hg formed = 2 mol
\(\therefore\) Mass of amalgam formed = 2 x 223 = 446 g

\(\Lambda_{\mathrm{CaSO}_{4}}^{\infty}=\lambda_{\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}}^{\infty}+\lambda_{\mathrm{SO}_{4}^{2-}}^{\infty}\)
\(\lambda_{\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}}^{\infty}=\left(\mu_{\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}}\right) F ; \lambda_{\mathrm{SO}_{4}^{2-}}^{\infty}=\left(\mu_{\mathrm{SO}_{4}^{2-}}\right) F\)
\(\mu_{\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}}\) and \(\mu_{\mathrm{SO}_{4}^{2-}}\) - are ionic mobilities.
\(\Lambda_{\mathrm{CaSO}_{4}}^{\infty}=F(12.33+16.58) \times 10^{-4}\)
= 96500 x 10- 4 x 28.91 = 279
(ii) (c) : \(\alpha=\frac{\Lambda_{C}}{\Lambda^{\infty}} \Rightarrow 0.1=\frac{\Lambda_{C}}{279} \Rightarrow \Lambda_{C}=27.9\)
