Two faradays of electric current can produce 2 g (1 mole of hydrogen) of hydrogen gas.

One faraday is equal to

  1. 69,500 coulombs

  2. 91,500 coulombs

  3. 91,400 coulombs

  4. 96,500 coulombs

Explanation:

One faraday is equal to 96,500 coulombs.

Faraday’s laws of electrolysis are related to the

  1. atomic number of the cation

  2. atomic number of the anion

  3. equivalent weight of the electrolyte

  4. speed of the cation


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The mass of a substance altered at an electrode during electrolysis is directly proportional to the quantity of electricity transferred at that electrode. Quantity of electricity refers to the quantity of electrical charge, typically measured in coulomb. For a given quantity of DC electricity (electric charge), the mass of an elemental material altered at an electrode is directly proportional to the element's equivalent weight.

According to Faraday’s first law, the amount of substance deposited at electrode when an electric current is passed through an electrolyte depends upon the

(a) amount of current passed (b) dissociation of electrolyte (c) time till which current is passed (d) nature of electrode material

  1. Both (a) and (b)

  2. Both (b) and (c)

  3. Both (a) and (c)

  4. Both (c) and (d)


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

According to Faraday’s first law, the amount of substance deposited at electrode when an electric current is passed through an electrolyte depends upon the amount of current passed and the time till which current is passed.

What do you mean by electroplating?

(a) The process of decomposition of any desired metal into another metal by means of electricity (b) The process of decomposition of any desired metal into another metal by means of physical reaction (c) The process of depositing a layer of any desired metal on another material by means of electricity

  1. Only (a)

  2. Only (b)

  3. Only (c)

  4. Both (a) and (b)


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The process of depositing a layer of any desired metal on another material by means of electricity is called electroplating.

During electroplating, when current is passed through a copper sulphate solution, copper gets deposited on the

  1. electrode which is attached to the negative terminal of the battery

  2. electrode which is attached to the positive terminal of the battery

  3. walls of the vessel

  4. bottom of the vessel


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

When electric current is passed through copper sulphate solution, copper sulphate dissociates into copper and sulphate ions. The free copper ions get drawn to the electrode connected to the negative terminal of the battery and gets deposited on it. 

Why is electroplating done on metallic objects?

  1. To make the metal reactive

  2. To make the appearance of the metal dull

  3. To change the composition of the metal

  4. To protect the metal underneath and to make it attractive


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Metallic objects are electroplated to protect the metal underneath and to make it attractive.

Electroplating is mostly done on

  1. gold

  2. chromium

  3. zinc

  4. iron


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Electroplating is mostly done on iron to prevent its corrosion and also to improve the looks of the object.

Why is chromium used for electroplating?

(a) It does not corrode. (b) It is scratch resistant. (c) It is cheap, easily available and can be electroplated very easily.

  1. Only (a)

  2. Both (a) and (b)

  3. Only (c)

  4. Both (b) and (c)


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Chromium does not corrode and is scratch resistant. Chromium is neither cheap nor is it easily available. Electroplating of chromium is a complex and controlled process as the chromium layer tends to peel off.

An electric dry cell has _____ on one side.

  1. metal disc

  2. metal wire

  3. plastic base

  4. filament


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

An electric dry cell has metal disc on one side.

Which of the following statements is true about electrochemical cells?

  1. Oxidation takes place at cathode and reduction takes place at anode.

  2. Cathode is negative and anode is positive.

  3. Electrons flow from anode to cathode in the external circuit.

  4. Electrical energy is converted into chemical energy.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Electrons flow from anode to cathode in the external circuit.

For the process of electrolysis of water, which of the following statements is true?

  1. Oxygen bubbles will be formed on positive electrode and hydrogen bubbles will be formed on negative electrode.

  2. Oxygen bubbles will be formed on negative electrode and hydrogen bubbles will be formed on positive electrode.

  3. Oxygen and hydrogen bubbles will be formed on positive electrode only.

  4. Oxygen and hydrogen bubbles will be formed on negative electrode only.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Oxygen bubbles will be formed on positive electrode and hydrogen bubbles will be formed on negative electrode.

A test lamp glows while testing the conductivity of a liquid. What does it show?

  1. It shows that electric current can never pass through liquids.

  2. It shows that the liquid is distilled water.

  3. It shows that electric current can pass through liquids.

  4. It shows that the circuit is incomplete.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

This activity demonstrates that electric current can pass through liquids.

The mass of a product liberated at anode in an electrochemical cell depends on

  1. (It)1/2

  2. It

  3. I/t

  4. I2t


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In an electrochemical cell, the mass of a product liberated at anode depends on charge q. Also, q = It.

If we cut out a piece of potato and insert copper wire of a tester into it, what effect will be observed?

  1. A red spot is formed on one terminal of the wire.

  2. A greenish-blue spot is formed on one terminal of the wire.

  3. A bluish-black spot is formed on one terminal of the wire.

  4. A greenish-blue spot is formed on both terminals of the wire.


Correct Option: B
