Correct Option: C

When the lead accumulator is charged, it acts as:

chemistry changes - physical and chemical effects of oxidation reactions in daily life corrosion of metals electroplating and its application

  1. an electrolytic cell

  2. a galvanic cell

  3. a Daniel cell

  4. none of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

During the charging of a lead accumulator cell, the electical energy is stored in the form of chemical energy. Thus, the electrical energy derives non-spontaneous chemical reactions. Hence, during charging, the lead accumulator cell acts as an electrolytic cell.

When lead storage battery is charged:

chemistry changes - physical and chemical effects of oxidation reactions in daily life corrosion of metals electroplating and its application

  1. lead dioxide dissolves

  2. sulphuric acid is regenerated

  3. lead electrode becomes coated with lead sulphate

  4. the concentration of sulphuric acid decreases

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

During charging of lead storage battery, sulphuric acid is regenerated. The net cell reaction during charging is $ PbS{ O } _{ 4 } +{ 2{ H } _{ 2 }O  }  \xrightarrow {  }  Pb  +  Pb{ O } _{ 2 }  +  2{ H } _{ 2 }{ SO } _{ 4 }  $

Hence, option B is correct.

Number of Faradays involved in the net reaction of Lead accumulator is __________.

chemistry changes - physical and chemical effects of oxidation reactions in daily life corrosion of metals electroplating and its application

  1. 1

  2. 0.5

  3. 2

  4. cannot be predicted

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

For lead accumulator battery, the oxidation reaction at anode  requires two moles of electrons. Similarly, the reduction reaction at cathode  requires two moles of electrons. Hence, the number of Faradays involved in the net reaction of Lead accumulator is 2.
Note: 1 Faraday is equal to the amount of charge on 1 mole of electrons.

During the charging of lead accumulator battery voltage varies from:

chemistry changes - physical and chemical effects of oxidation reactions in daily life corrosion of metals electroplating and its application

  1. $2.15$ V to $1.88$ V

  2. $1.88$ V to $2.0$ V

  3. $1.88$ V to $2.15$ V

  4. does not change

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

When the lead accumulator battery is charged, the voltage range is 1.88 V to 2.15 V as the concentration of sulphuric acid varies from 5% to 40%.


Hence, option C is correct.

In electrochemical passivity:

chemistry changes - physical and chemical effects of oxidation reactions in daily life corrosion of metals electroplating and its application

  1. thin visible oxide film is formed

  2. thin invisible oxide film is formed

  3. thick visible oxide film is formed

  4. thick invisible oxide films formed

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

During electrochemical passivisation, the metal surface is made inactive by formation of thin invisible oxide layer on the surface. 


This is done by the oxidation of metal on metal surface.

Hence, option B is correct.

Iron is not protected from rusting by:

chemistry changes - physical and chemical effects of oxidation reactions in daily life corrosion of metals electroplating and its application

  1. galvanization

  2. electroplating with $Ni$ or $Cr$

  3. heating the iron to redness in steam

  4. treating it with $H _{3}PO _{4}$

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Phosphoric acid will not form a protective coating of iron oxide on the surface of iron. A strong oxidizing agent such as nitric acid is required for this process.

The technique of protecting a metal from corrosion by connecting it to a second metal (that is more easily oxidized) is called:

chemistry changes - physical and chemical effects of oxidation reactions in daily life corrosion of metals electroplating and its application

  1. galvanization

  2. anodic protection

  3. cathodic protection

  4. sacrificial protection

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

In cathodic protection, the more easily oxidized metal is attached to the metal which is to be protected. This results in corrosion of more easily oxidized metal. The other metal is thus protected from corrosion.

Iron can be prevented from rusting by:

chemistry changes - physical and chemical effects of oxidation reactions in daily life corrosion of metals electroplating and its application

  1. connecting iron to more electropositive metal a case of cathodic protection.

  2. connecting iron to more electropositive metal a case of anodic protection.

  3. connecting iron to less electropositive metal a case of anodic protection.

  4. connecting iron to less electropositive metal a case of cathodic protection.

Show answer
Correct Option: A,C
Explanation:

Cathodic protection: A technique to control corrosion of a metal surface by making it work as a cathode of an electrochemical cell by placing in contact with the metal to be protected another more easily corroded metal to act as the anode of the electrochemical cell. Most commonly used to protect steel, water pipelines, and storage tanks.

Anodic protection: A technique to control corrosion of a metal by making it work as anode developing a passive film on the metal. It used in extremely corrosive conditions and most extensively used to store and handle sulphuric acid container.

Hence, option A and C are correct
