Answer to: The standard reduction potential for the Zn^2+(aq)/Zn (s) half cell is -0.76V. Write the reactions occurring at the electrodes

At anode : Zn(s) → Zn2+(aq) + 2e- At cathode : 2H+ + 2e- → H2(g) Zn(s) + 2H+(al) → Zn2+(aq) + 2e-

Answer to: Write the electrode reactions for anode and cathode in a mercury cell.

At anode : Zn (amalgam) + 2OH- → ZnO + H2O + 2e- At cathode : HgO (s) + H2O (l) + 2e- → Hg (l) + 2OH- (aq) The overall reaction is : Zn (amalgam)...

Answer to: Indicate the reactions which take place at cathode and anode in fuel cell.

At cathode : O2(g) + H2O + 4e- → 4OH-(aq) At anode : 2H2(g) + 4OH-(aq) → 4H2O + 4e- The overall reaction is : 2H2(g) + O2(g) → 4H2O(l)

Answer to: The resistance of conductivity cell containing 0.001M KCl solution at 298K is 1500.

Cell constant = Conductivity x Resistance = 0.146 x 10-3 S cm-1 x 1500Ω = 0.219 cm-1

Answer to: How does the pH of Al-NaCl solution be affected when it is electrolysed?

When Al-NaCl solution is electrolysed, H2 is liberated at cathode, Cl2 at anode and NaOH is formed in the solution. Hence pH of solution increases.
