Questions Related to electrolysis

Which of the following does not conduct electricity ?

  1. Molten NaoH

  2. Molten KOH

  3. Solid NaCI

  4. Aqueous NaCI


Correct Option: C

A Coordinates complex has the formula $PtCl.2KCl$. Electrical conductance measurements indicate the pressure of three ion in one formulaa unit. Treatment with $AgNO _{3}$ produces no precipiate of $AgCl$. What is the coordinates no of $Pt$ this complex?

  1. $6$

  2. $5$

  3. $4$

  4. $3$


Correct Option: B

An acidic solution of Cu+ salt containing 0.4 g of Cu+ is electrolysed until all the Cu is deposited. The electrolysis is continued for 7 more minutes with volume of the solution kept at 100 ml and the current at 1.2 amp. Calculate volume of the gases evolved at NTP during entire electrolysis( atomic weight of Cu= 63.6)

  1. H2 = 68.32 ; O2 = 85.23 ml

  2. H2 = 40.34 ; O2 =70.12 ml

  3. H2= 51.46 ; O2 = 90.12 ml

  4. H2=58.46 ; O2 = 99.68 ml


Correct Option: D

An electrolytic cell was set up. Distilled water is placed in the cell and battery is switched on. The bulb is also connected through a battery. The bulb will:

  1. glow

  2. not glow

  3. partially glow

  4. none of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Distilled water is a bad conductor of electricity. It do not contains any impurities to carry the current. So the circuit will not be completed for the bulb to glow.

Which of the following is a good conductor of electricity?

  1. $HCOOH$

  2. $CH _3Cl$

  3. $C _2H _5OH$

  4. $KOH$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

KOH being a strong base is a good conductor of electricity. 

Given below are the half cell reactions

${ Mn }^{ 2+ }+{ 2e }^{ - }\longrightarrow { Mn }  E=-1.81V$

$2\left( { Mn }^{ 3+ }+{ e }^{ - }\longrightarrow { Mn }^{ 2+ } \right) E=+1.51V$ will be

        




  1. 0.33V ; the reaction will not occur .

  2. 0.33V ; the reaction will occur.

  3. 2.69V ; the reaction will not occur.

  4. 2.69V ; the reaction will occur


Correct Option: A

Which technique should be used to determine if a solution contains a molecular or ionic solute?

  1. Conductivity

  2. Calorimetry

  3. Precipitation

  4. Spectophotometry


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The presence of ionic solute in a solution can be determined by measuring its conductivity because ions are good conductor of electricity.

The first step in the extraction of Cu from copper pyrites is?

  1. Reduction by carbon

  2. Electrolysis of ore

  3. A Roasting of ore in $O _2$

  4. Magnetic separation


Correct Option: B

Conductivity ($\kappa $) of $0.01M$ $NaCl$ solution is $0.000145S$ ${cm}^{-1}$. What happens to the conductivity if extra $100mL$ of ${H} _{2}O$ be added to the above solution?

  1. Decreases

  2. Increases

  3. Remains unchanged

  4. First increase and then decrease


Correct Option: A

Which of the following is/are always true electroplating ?

  1. Copper is used as cathode

  2. Cathode always gins weight while anode always loses weight

  3. Iron is coated with nickel or chromium to prevent from rusting.

  4. Ammeter reading during. electroplating steadily decreases.


Correct Option: A
