Multiple choice metallic and electrolytic conduction electrolysis chemical reactions electrochemistry chemistry

An electrolytic cell was set up. 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. depends on the amount of water.

  4. None of the above.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Water has some impurities in it. So the impurities will carry the current and the bulb will glow.

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

  1. glow brightly

  2. glow dimly

  3. not glow

  4. depends on the amount of ammonium hydroxide
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Ammonium hydroxide is a weak base so it has less ions to carry the current. So the circuit will be completed and the bulb will glow dimly.

Which of the following sentences is/are true?

  1. Electrolytic conduction involves chemical changes

  2. Metallic conduction does not involve chemical changes

  3. Both of the above

  4. None of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Electrolytic conduction occurs when a voltage is applied across the electrodes dipped in the electrolytic solution. The ions present in the electrolyte moves. The cations move towards the cathode. In the cathode the cations undergo reduction. The anions move towards the anode. In the anode the anions undergo oxidation. Thus electrolytic conduction accompanies a chemical change.
But no such chemical change occurs in case of metallic conduction.

Assertion: A 0.2M solution of carbonic acid is a weaker conductor of electricity than a 0.2M solution of $HBr$.

Reason: In solutions with the same concentration of solute molecules, $H _2CO _3$ is less dissociated than $HBr$.

  1. The Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion

  2. Both the Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion

  3. The Assertion is correct but Reason is not correct

  4. The Assertion is not correct but Reason is correct

  5. Both the Assertion and Reason are not correct
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Option A is the correct answer.

$ {HBr} $ dissociates completely in a solution forming $ {H}^{+} $ and $ {Br}^{-} $ ions. Whereas, $ {H} _{2}{C}{O} _{3} $ partially dissociates in a solution forming $ {H}^{+} $ and $ {HCO} _{3}^{-} $ ions. Thus in the same concentration of both the acids $ {HBr} $  is a stronger acid than $ {H} _{2}{C}{O} _{3} $. 
As $ {HBr} $  dissociates completely,  $ {H}^{+} $ ion concentration is more in this case, and hence $ {HBr} $ is a good conductor of electricity.

Which of the following sentences about conduction is/are true?

  1. Electrolytic conduction involves transfer of matter

  2. Metallic conduction does not involve transfer of matter

  3. Both of the above

  4. None of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

In electrolytic conduction, a voltage is applied across the electrodes dipped into the electrolytic solution. There are ions present in electrolytic solution. Because of the voltage applied, electric current will flow in the solution. The ions will move in the solution. The cations will move towards the cathode, whereas the anions will move towards the anode.
Thus in electrolytic conduction mass is transferred in the form of ions.
Whereas, no such transfer of mass occur in metallic conduction. It is just the flow of electrons.

 Which of the following statements is true about electrolytic conduction?

  1. Occurs due to flow of electrons

  2. Occurs due to flow of ions

  3. Both of the above

  4. None of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

In an electrolytic solution when a voltage is applied across the electrodes dipped into the solution, the ions present in the electrolyte move. The cations move towards the cathode, whereas the anions move towards the anode and thus electric current flows through the electrolytic solution. Thus electrolytic conduction occurs because of the flow of ions.
