The process of slowly eating away of the metal due to the attack of the moisture and atmospheric gases on the surface of the metal resulting in the formation of a compound such as oxides, sulphides, carbonates, sulphates etc., is called corrosion.
The electrochemical phenomenon of rusting of iron can be described as :
At Anode: Fe(s) undergoes oxidation to releases electrons.
Fe(s)\(\rightarrow\)Fe2+(aq)+2e-
At Cathode:
O2(g)+4H++4e-\(\rightarrow\)2H2O(l)
Electrons released at anode move to another metal and reduce oxygen in presence of H+ . It is available from H2CO3 formed from the dissolution of CO2 from air into water. H+ in water may be available also through the dissolution of other acidic oxides from the atmosphere.
This site behaves as a cathode.
Net Reaction:
Fe(s)+2H+(aq)+\(\frac{1}{2}\)O2(g) \(\rightarrow\)Fe2+(aq)
2Fe2+(s)+\(\frac{1}{2}\)O2(g)+2H2O(l) \(\rightarrow\)Fe2O3(s)+4H+

\(\lambda_{\mathrm{HCOOH}}^{0}=\lambda_{\left(\mathrm{HCOO}^{-}\right)}^{0}+\lambda_{\mathrm{H}}^{0}+\)
= 349.5 + 50.5 : 400 S cm2 mol-1.
\(\Lambda_{m}=\frac{1000 \kappa}{\mathrm{M}}=\frac{1000 \times 5.25 \times 10^{-5}}{2.5 \times 10^{-4}}\)
= \(\frac{1000 \times 525}{10 \times 2.5 \times 100}\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad \Lambda_{m}=\frac{525}{2.5}=\frac{5250}{25}=210 \mathrm{~S} \mathrm{~cm}^{2} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\)
\(\alpha=\frac{\Lambda_{\mathrm{m}}}{\Lambda_{\mathrm{m}}^{0}}=\frac{210}{400}=\frac{21}{40}=0.525\)
\(\Rightarrow \ \alpha\) = 0.525 x 100% = 52.5%

1 mol of Ag is deposit by \(96500C\)

No. of electrons in 1 mol of silver = \(\frac { 96500C }{ 1.60\times { 10 }^{ -19 }C } \)
= \(6.03\times { 10 }^{ 23 }{ e }^{ - }\)
Avagadro number = \(6.03\times { 10 }^{ 23 }\)

9.
Quantity of electricity passed = 9·65 x 60 x 60 C = 34740 C
∴ Ag+ ions deposited = 34740/96500 mole = 0.36 mole
Cu2+ions deposited = 34740/(2 x 96500) = 0.18 mole
[Ag+] left = 1 - 0.36 = 0.64 M
[Cu2+] left = 1 - 0.18 = 0.82 M
Cell reaction is: Cu + 2 Ag+ ➝ Cu2++ 2 Ag
\(ΔE=E^0_{cell}-E_{cell}={0.0591\over 2}log{[Cu^{2+}]\over [Ag^+]^2}={0.0591\over 2}log{0.82\over (0.64)^2}=8.89\times10^{-3}V\)

(a) Lead storage battery: It is a secondary cell. It consists of a lead anode and a grid of lead dioxide as cathode. A solution of sulphuric acid (38% by mass) is used as electrolyte
The cell reactions when the battery is in use are given below:
Anode : Pb(s) + SO42-(aq) ⇾ Pb504(s) + z«
Cathode: PbO2 (s) +SO42- (aq) + 4H+(aq) + 2e- ⇾ PbSO4+2H2O(I) i.e. overall cell reaction consisting of cathode and anode reactions is :
Pb (s) + PbO2 (s) + 2H2SO4 (oq) ⇾ 2PbSO4 (s) + 2H2O(I)
On recharging the battery, the reaction is reversed.
2PbSO4 + 2H2O ⇾ Pb(s) + PbO2(s) + 4H+ + 2SO42-
(b)\(E_{cell}=E^0_{cell}-{0.0591V\over 6}log{[Cr^{3+}]^2\over [Cr_2O_7^{2-}][H^+]^{14}}\)
\(=1.33V-{0.0591V\over 6}log{(0.2)^2\over (0.1)(1.0\times10^{-4})^{14}}\)
\(=1.33V-{0.0591V\over 6}log{4\times 10^{-2}\over 1.0\times10^{-57}}\)
\(=1.3V-{0.0591V\over 6}log4\times 10^{55}\)
\(=1.33V-{0.0591V\over6}\times 55.6021\)
\(=1.33V-{3.286V\over6}=1.33V-0.5476V=0.7824V\)
