A Correct answer
Explanation

When electric current passes through the filaments of bulb, it starts emitting light due to heating effect of electric current.

Multiple choice physics electrical conductivity of liquids does liquid conduct electricity? liquids conduct electricity do liquids conduct electricity?

The chemical effect produced by an electric current depends on:

  1. the nature of electrode

  2. the tester

  3. the conducting solution

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

Because if the liquid is conducting i.e electrolyte only then free ions will be present . Only in that case electric current will be able to produce chemical effect otherwise not.

Multiple choice physics electrical conductivity of liquids does liquid conduct electricity? liquids conduct electricity do liquids conduct electricity?

Sea water is a good conductor of electricity but distilled water is not because :

  1. sea water contains mineral salts.

  2. distilled water contains mineral.

  3. both A and B

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

Sea water is a good conductor of electricity but distilled water is not because sea water contains mineral salts.

Multiple choice physics electrical conductivity of liquids does liquid conduct electricity? liquids conduct electricity do liquids conduct electricity?

A tester is used to check the conduction of electricity through two liquids, labelled A and B. It is found that the bulb of the tester glows brightly for liquid A while it glows very dim for liquid B. You would conclude that :

  1. liquid $A$ is a better conductor than liquid$ B$
  2. liquid $B$ is a better conductor than liquid $A$

  3. both liquids are equally conducting

  4. conducting properties of liquid cannot be compared in this manner.

A Correct answer
Explanation

Liquid $A$ is a better conductor than liquid $B.$

Multiple choice physics electrical conductivity of liquids does liquid conduct electricity? liquids conduct electricity do liquids conduct electricity?

$H _2SO _4$ solution attached to a bulb in a beaker:

  1. cannot light the bulb

  2. can light the bulb

  3. diffuses the bulb

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

An acid in aqueous medium releases hydronium ions. Hence, it is able to conduct electricity. When sulphuric acid in aqueous medium is attached to a bulb in a beaker, current flows through it and lights the bulb.

Multiple choice physics electrical conductivity of liquids does liquid conduct electricity? liquids conduct electricity do liquids conduct electricity?

The specific charge of electrons is less than the specific charge of protons.

  1. True

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

The specific charge of a particle is the charge that it carries per unit mass,i.e,


$q _m=\dfrac{q}{m}$

A proton and an electron carries the same magnitude of charge($q$) their specific charge is inversely proportional to their mass,i.e,

$q _m\propto\dfrac{1}{m}$

The mass of a proton is greater than that of an electron and hence

$q _{m _p}<q _{m _e}$

Hence, the above statement is incorrect

Multiple choice physics electrical conductivity of liquids does liquid conduct electricity? liquids conduct electricity do liquids conduct electricity?

Statement 1:  A solution of NaCI will conduct electricity. 
Statement 2:  NaCI will not form ions in solution. 

  1. Statement 1 and Statement 2 are correct and Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement 1.

  2. Both the Statement 1 and Statement 2 are correct and Statement 2 is not the correct explanation of Statement 1.

  3. Statement 1 is correct but Statement 2 is not correct.

  4. Statement 1 is not correct but Statement 2 is correct.

  5. Both the Statement 1 and Statement 2 are not correct.

C Correct answer
Explanation

A solution of $NaCl$ conduct electricity because in aqueous solution $NaCl$ dissociate into $Na^+$ and $Cl^-$ ions, which in solution are free to move and hence, conduct electricity.

Multiple choice chemistry electrical conductivity of liquids effects of oxidation reactions in daily life corrosion of metals electroplating and its application
Assertion: Zinc is coated on the iron to prevent corrosion in a process called galvanization.
Reason: Zinc is a stronger reducing agent than iron and is more easily oxidized than iron.

  1. Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion

  2. Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion

  3. Assertion is true but Reason is false

  4. Assertion is false but Reason is true

  5. Both Assertion and Reason are false
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Coating of iron with zinc to prevent corrosion is called galvanization.
Steel is dipped in a bath of molten zinc. The zinc coated iron is called galvanized iron. Zinc $(E^o=-0.763 : V)$ is stringer reducing agent than iron $(E^o=-0.44 : V)$ and is more easily oxidized than iron . Thus during corrosion, Zn is oxidized instead of Fe.
