Multiple choice metallic and electrolytic conduction electrolysis chemical reactions electrochemistry chemistry

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
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Conductivity (kappa) is defined as the conductance of a solution contained between two electrodes of unit area and unit distance apart. Adding water (dilution) decreases the number of ions per unit volume, thus decreasing the conductivity.

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.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

In electroplating, the object to be plated is the cathode. While the cathode gains weight, the anode only loses weight if it is made of the metal being plated (sacrificial anode). Option A is the most general correct statement regarding the setup.

Arrange the following complexes in order of increasing electrical conductivity.
(I) $[CoCl _3(NH _3) _3]$     (II) $[CoCl(NH _3) _5]CI _2$
(III) $[Co(NH _3) _6]Cl _3$   (IV) $[CoCl _2(NH _3) _]1Cl$ 

  1. III > II > IV > I

  2. II > III > IV > I

  3. II > III > I > IV

  4. III > IV > II > I
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Electrical conductivity $\times $ no. / moles of ions present after dissociation.

$I$ $\therefore \quad \left[ Co{ Cl } _{ 3 }{ \left( { NH } _{ 3 } \right)  } _{ 3 } \right] $
$II$  $\left[ CoCl{ \left( { NH } _{ 3 } \right)  } _{ 5 } \right] { Cl } _{ 2 }\rightarrow { \left[ CoCl{ \left( { NH } _{ 3 } \right)  } _{ 5 } \right]  }^{ 2+ }+2{ Cl }^{ \left( - \right)  }$
$IV$  $\left[ Co{ Cl } _{ 2 }{ \left( { NH } _{ 3 } \right)  } _{ 4 } \right] Cl\rightarrow { \left[ Co{ Cl } _{ 2 }{ \left( { NH } _{ 3 } \right)  } _{ 4 } \right]  }^{ + }+{ Cl }^{ \left( - \right)  }$
$III$  ${ \left[ Co{ \left( { NH } _{ 3 } \right)  } _{ 6 } \right] Cl } _{ 3 }\rightarrow { \left[ Co{ \left( { NH } _{ 3 } \right)  } _{ 6 } \right]  }^{ 3+ }+3{ Cl }^{ \left( - \right)  }$
Hence the correct answer is,
$\boxed { III>II>IV>I } $

The electric conduction of a salt solution in water depends on the:

  1. shape of molecules

  2. size of its molecules

  3. size of solvent molecules

  4. extent of its ionisation
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Higher the number of ions in solution, higher would be the conductivity of the solution as the number of charge carriers would increase. Hence, higher the degree of ionization greater would be the number of ions in solution.

Conductivity of aqueous solution of an electrolyte depends on:

  1. molecular mass of the electrolyte

  2. boiling point of solvent

  3. degree of ionisation

  4. volume of the solvent
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Conductivity of an aqueous solution depends on degree of ionization of solute. More is the degree of ionization more will be conductivity. Second, important factor on which conductivity depend is temperature.

  1. photoelectric cells

  2. semiconductors

  3. high voltage batteries

  4. lasers

Pure water is a good conductor of electricity.

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

For pure water ${ K } _{ a }=1.8\times { 10 }^{ -16 }$ at $25℃$

Since dissociation constant is very very low.
So pure water doesn't conduct electricity. Because free ions are not present in sufficient amount for conduction.
${ H } _{ 2 }{ O\rightleftharpoons  }{ H }^{ + }+{ OH }^{ - }$ (weak dissociation constant)

Molten sodium chloride conducts electricity due to presence of:

  1. free electrons

  2. free ions

  3. free molecules

  4. free atoms
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
Molten sodium chloride conducts electricity due to the presence of free ions.
In order to conduct electricity a substance must have charge particles, such as electrons and ions, that are free to move freely through it. In the solid state, ionic compounds such as sodium chloride have their ions fixed in position and therefore these ions cannot move so solid ionic compounds cannot conduct electricity. However in the molten state, ions in ionic compounds are free to flow and therefore molten sodium chloride can conduct electricity.
