Question : 24
Total: 26
(a) Calculate E°cell for the following reaction at 298K :
2Al( s)+3Cu2+(0.01M) 2Al3+(0.01M)+3Cu( s)
Given :Ecell =1.98V
(b) Using the E values of A and B, predict which is better for coating the surface of iron [E(Fe2+Fe) =0.44V] to prevent corrosion and why ?
Given : E°(A2+A)=2.37V : E°(B2+B)=0.14V
OR
(a) The conductivity of 0.001molL1 solution of CH3COOH is 3.905×105Scm1. Calculate its molar conductivity and degree of dissociation (α).
Given λ0(H+)=349.6Scmmol1 and λ0 (CH3COO)=40.9Scm2mol1
(b) Define electrochemical cell. What happens if external potential applied becomes greater than Ecell of electrochemical cell ?
Solution:  
(a) Ecell =E0cell

(b) Device used for the production of electricity from energy released during spontaneous chemical reaction and the use of electrical energy to bring about a chemical change.
The reaction gets reversed / It starts acting as an electrolytic cell & vice - versa.
