 List the factors affecting electrolytic conductance.
 If the interionic attraction between the oppositely charged ions increases, the
conductance will decrease.
 Solvent of higher dielectric constant show high conductance in solution.
 Conductivity increases with the decrease in viscosity.
 Increase in temperature increases the kinetic energy of the ions and decreases the
attractive force between the oppositely charged ions and hence conductivity increases.
 Molar conductance increases with increase in dilution. This is because, for a strong
electrolyte, interionic forces of attraction decrease with dilution. For a weak
electrolyte, degree of dissociation increases with dilution.
 Why does conductivity of a solution decrease on dilution of the solution?
Conductivity always decreases with dilution. This can be explained by the fact that the

 Describe the construction of Daniel cell. Write the cell reaction.


Daniel cell consists of two half cells.
Oxidation half cell
Metal strip dipped in a beaker containing aqueous solution.
Reduction half cell
Metal strip dipped in a beaker containing aqueous solution.
Joining the half cells
External circuit:
The zinc and copper strips are externally connected using a wire through a key (k) and a
voltmeter.
Salt bridge:
The electrolytic solution present in the Cathodic and anodic compartment are connected
using an inverted U tube containing a agar-agar gel mixed with an inert electrolyte such as
KCl, Na2SO4 etc.,

The solution in the salt bridge cannot get poured out, but through which the ions can
move into (or) out of the half cells.
Anodic oxidation:
Zinc is oxidised to Zn2+ ions and the electrons.

The ions enters the solution and the electrons flow through the external circuit to
copper strip.
Cathodic reduction:
Cu2+ ions in the solution accept the electrons, get reduced to copper and gets deposited
on the electrode.

The overall cell reaction

Salt bridge:
The anodic compartment solution contains more number of ions as compared to

i.e., solution is positively charged.

The Cathodic compartment solution contains more number of ions as compared to


ions, i.e., solution is negatively charged.
To maintain the electrical neutrality in both the compartments, the non-reactive ions
move from the salt bridge into the anodic compartment, and ions move from the salt
bridge into the cathodic compartment.
Completion of circuit
Electrons flow from zinc anode into the copper cathode through the external wire, at the
same time, anions move towards anode and cations move towards the cathode. This
completes the circuit.
Consumption of Electrodes
The cell will function until the entire metallic zinc is converted in to Zn 2+ (or) the entire
Cu2+ ions are converted in to metallic copper.
 Define anode and cathode

 Define emf of a Cell.
In a galvanic cell, the force that pushes the electrons away from the anode and pulls them
toward cathode is called the electromotive force (emf).
emf is also called as the cell potential. The SI unit of cell potential is the volt (V).
Note:
When there is one volt difference in electrical potential between the anode and cathode,
one joule of energy is released for each columb of charge that moves between them.

The emf of a cell can be considered as the sum of the electrode potentials of cathode and
anode.

It is impossible to measure the emf of a single electrode, but we can measure using a
voltmeter. If we know the emf of any one of the electrodes, we can calculate the emf of the
other electrode from the measured . Hence, we need a reference electrode whose emf
is known.

 Explain the thermodynamics of cell reactions
 The electrical energy produced by the galvanic cell is equal to the product of the total
charge of electrons and the emf of the cell.
 If ‘n’ moles of electrons are exchanged in the overall cell reaction, then the electrical
energy produced by the cell is

 This energy is used to do the electric work. Therefore the maximum work that can be
obtained from a galvanic cell is

 Here the sign is introduced to indicate that the work is done by the system on the
surroundings.

is equal to the change in the Gibbs free energy of the system.

§ The electrolytic cell consists of two iron electrodes dipped in molten NaCl and they are
connected to an external DC power supply via a key.
§ The electrode attached to the negative terminal of the power supply is called the
cathode, and the one which attached to the positive end is called the anode.
§ Once the key is closed, the external DC power supply drives the electrons to the
cathode and at the same time pull the electrons from the anode.
§ Cell reactions
At cathode: Na+ ions are reduced to liquid sodium.

At anode : Cl– ions are oxidised to chlorine gas.

The overall reaction is,

The negative value shows that the above reaction is a non-spontaneous. Hence, a
voltage greater than 6.78 V can cause the electrolysis of molten NaCl.
 State Faraday’s Laws of electrolysis

The redox process which causes the deterioration of metal is called corrosion.Rusting of iron
is an electrochemical process.
 Explain the Electrochemical mechanism of corrosion.
 The formation of rust requires both oxygen and water.
 Since it is an electrochemical redox process, it requires an anode and a cathode in
different places of the iron.
 The iron surface and a droplet of water on the surface form a tiny galvanic cell.

 The region enclosed by water is exposed to low amount of oxygen, it acts as anode.
The remaining area is exposed to high amount of oxygen, it acts as cathode. Thus,
based on the oxygen content an electro chemical cell is formed.
 Anode (oxidation)
Iron dissolves in the anode region

The electrons move through the metal from the anode to the cathode, where the
oxygen dissolved in water, is reduced to water.
 Cathode (reduction)
The reaction of atmospheric carbon dioxide with water gives carbonic acid which
furnishes the H+ ions for reduction.

The electrical circuit is completed by the migration of ions through water droplet.The
overall redox reactions is,

The positive emf value indicates that the reaction is spontaneous.


Fe2+ ions are further oxidised to Fe3+. , which on further reaction with oxygen to form
rust.

Other metals such as Al, Cu and Ag also undergo corrosion, but at a slower rate than
iron. For example, let us consider the oxidation of aluminium,

Al3+ , which reacts with oxygen in air to form a protective coating of Al 2O3. This coating
act as a protective film for the inner surface. So, further corrosion is prevented.
 Suggest any three methods of Protection of metals form corrosion
This can be achieved by the following methods.
 Coating metal surface by paint.
 Galvanization:
Iron is coated with zinc. Zinc is stronger reducing agent than iron and hence it can be
more easily corroded than iron.
 Cathodic protection:
Metals such as Mg (or) zinc which is corroded more easily than iron can be used as a
sacrificial anode and the iron material acts as a cathode. So iron is protected, but Mg
(or) Zn gets corroded.
 Passivation:
When the metal is treated with concentrated HNO3, a protective oxide layer is formed
on the surface of metal.
 Alloy formation:
The oxidising tendency of iron can be reduced by forming its alloy with other more
anodic metals. Example: stainless steel
 Write a note on sacrificial protection.
Sacrificial protection is the protection of iron or steel against corrosion by using a more
reactive metals such as a Pieces of zinc or magnesium alloy are attached to pump bodies
and pipes. The protected metal becomes the cathode and does not corrode. The anode
corrodes, thereby providing the desired sacrificial protection.
