Study the given cell carefully and fill in the blanks by choosing an appropriate option.
In the given cell, hydrogen and oxygen are bubbled through porous $$\underline {\left( {\text{i}} \right)} $$ electrodes into concentrated aqueous $$\underline {\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)} $$ solution. Catalysts like finely divided $$\underline {\left( {{\text{iii}}} \right)} $$ or $$\underline {\left( {{\text{iv}}} \right)} $$ metal are incorporated into the electrodes for increasing the rate of electrode reactions.
No explanation is given for this question. Let's discuss the answer together.

Aluminium oxide may be electrolysed at $${1000^ \circ }C$$ to furnish aluminium metal ( At. Mass = 27 amu; 1 Faraday= 96,500 Coulombs ). The cathode reaction is $$ - A{l^{3 + }} + 3{e^ - } \to A{l^ \circ }.$$ To prepare 5.12 $$kg$$ of aluminium metal by this method we require
A
$$5.49 \times {10^1}C\,{\text{of}}\,{\text{electricty}}$$
B
$$5.49 \times {10^4}C\,{\text{of}}\,{\text{electricty}}$$
C
$$1.83 \times {10^7}C\,{\text{of}}\,{\text{electricty}}$$

An electrochemical cell is set up as : $$Pt;{H_2}\left( {1\,atm} \right)\left| {HCl\left( {0.1\,M} \right)} \right|$$ $$\left| {C{H_3}COOH\left( {0.1\,M} \right)} \right|{H_2}\left( {1\,atm} \right);Pt.$$ The $$e.m.f$$ of this cell will not be zero, because
A
the temperature is constant
B
$$e.m.f$$ depends on molarities of acids used
C
acids used in two compartments are different
D
$$pH$$ of $$0.1\,M\,HCl$$ and $$0.1\,M\,\,C{H_3}COOH$$ is not same
Answer :
$$pH$$ of $$0.1\,M\,HCl$$ and $$0.1\,M\,\,C{H_3}COOH$$ is not same
For a concentration cell having different concentrations of $$ions.$$
$$E = - \frac{{0.0591}}{n}\log \frac{{{c_1}}}{{{c_2}}}$$
If all the concentrations are identical then obviously the cell voltage is zero. But as the $$pH$$ of $$0.1\,M\,HCl$$ ( strong acid ) and $$pH$$ of $$0.1\,M\,\,C{H_3}COOH$$ is ( weak acid ) not same,
therefore the cell voltage is not zero.

Given the ionic conductance of and $$N{a^ + }$$ are $$74,50,$$ and $$73\,c{m^2}\,oh{m^{ - 1}}\,e{q^{ - 1}},$$ respectively. The equivalent conductance at infinite dilution of the salt is
Inert electrode does not participate in the chemical reaction and acts only as source or sink for electrons and provides surface either for oxidation or for reduction reaction.

Which of the following is a redox reaction?
A
$$NaCl + KN{O_3} \to NaN{O_3} + KCl$$
B

A current of $$10.0A$$ flows for $$2.00\,h$$ through an electrolytic cell containing a molten salt of metal $$X.$$ This results in the decomposition of $$0.250\,mol$$ of metal $$X$$ at the cathode. The oxidation state of $$X$$ in the molten salt is : $$\left( {F = 96,500\,C} \right)$$
