3 The oxidation of Fe2+ ions to Fe3+ ions proceeds as follows :


Fe2+ → 3+
+ e– ; E∘OX = – 0·77 V

7 he conductivity of a solution is linked with the number of ions present per unit
volume. With dilution, these decrease and the corresponding conductivity or
specific conductance of the solution decreases

11 T he highly reactive metals having large -ve E° values, which can themselves
act as powerful reducing agents can be extracted electrolytically. The process is
known as electrolytic reduction. For details, consult Unit-6. For example, sodium,
potassium, calcium, magnesium etc.

13 A lead storage battery consists of anode of lead, cathode of a
grid of lead packed with lead dioxide (PbO 2) and 38% H2SO4 solution as
electrolyte. When the battery is in use, the reaction taking place are:

On charging the battery, the reverse reaction takes place, i.e., PbSO 4 deposited
on electrodes is converted back to Pb and PbO 2 and H2SO4 is regenerated.
14 Methane (CH4) and methanol (CH3OH) can also be used as fuels in place of
hydrogen in the fuel cells.
