The molar conductance of a solution is calculated by dividing the specific conductance by the concentration of the solution. In this case, the specific conductance of the 0.1 M nitric acid solution is given as 6.3 x 10⁻² ohm⁻¹ cm⁻¹. Since the concentration of the solution is 0.1 M, we can calculate the molar conductance by dividing the specific conductance by the concentration: (6.3 x 10⁻² ohm⁻¹ cm⁻¹) / (0.1 M) = 630 ohm⁻¹ cm² mol⁻¹. Therefore, the correct answer is 630 ohm⁻¹ cm² mol⁻¹.Rate this question:

Which of the following statements is true for the electrochemical Daniel cell?
- A.
Electrons flow from copper electrode to zinc electrode
- B.
Current flows from zinc electrode to copper electrode
- C.
Cations move toward copper electrode
- D.
Cations move toward zinc electrode
Correct Answer
C. Cations move toward copper electrodeExplanation
In an electrochemical Daniel cell, cations move toward the copper electrode. This is because during the cell's operation, zinc atoms at the zinc electrode lose electrons and are oxidized, forming zinc cations (Zn2+). These cations then move through the electrolyte toward the copper electrode, where they are reduced by gaining electrons to form copper atoms. Therefore, the movement of cations is toward the copper electrode in a Daniel cell.Rate this question:

When during electrolysis of a solution of AgNO3 9650 coulombs of charge pass through the electroplating bath, the mass of silver deposited on the cathode will be
- A.
21.6 g
- B.
1.08 g
- C.
10.8 g
- D.
108 g
Correct Answer
C. 10.8 gExplanation
During electrolysis, the amount of substance deposited on the cathode is directly proportional to the amount of charge passed through the electrolyte solution. This relationship is given by Faraday's laws of electrolysis. According to Faraday's laws, 1 mole of electrons carries a charge of 96500 coulombs. Since 9650 coulombs of charge passed through the electroplating bath, it is equal to 0.1 moles of electrons.
The molar mass of silver (Ag) is 107.87 g/mol. Therefore, the mass of silver deposited on the cathode will be 0.1 moles multiplied by 107.87 g/mol, which equals 10.8 g.Rate this question:

The cost of electricity required to deposit 1 gm of Mg is Rs. 5.. How much would it cost to deposit 10 gm. of Al? (At wt. of Al=27, Mg=24)
- A.
₹ 10
- B.
₹ 27
- C.
₹ 44.44
- D.
₹ 66.67
Correct Answer
D. ₹ 66.67Explanation
The cost of electricity required to deposit 1 gm of Mg is Rs. 5. Since the atomic weight of Al is 27 and that of Mg is 24, the cost of electricity required to deposit 10 gm of Al can be calculated by multiplying the cost of electricity required to deposit 1 gm of Mg by the ratio of the atomic weights of Al and Mg. Therefore, the cost to deposit 10 gm of Al would be (5 * 27/24) = Rs. 5.625. Rounded to the nearest rupee, the cost would be Rs. 66.67.Rate this question:

Which one of the following statements is incorrect?
- A.
Specific conductance increases on dilution
- B.
Specific conductance decreases on dilution
- C.
Molar conductance increases on dilution
- D.
Equivalent conductance increases on dilution
Correct Answer
A. Specific conductance increases on dilutionExplanation
Specific conductance is a measure of the ability of a substance to conduct electric current. Dilution refers to the process of adding more solvent to a solution, which decreases the concentration of the solute. When a solution is diluted, the number of ions or particles available to carry the electric current decreases, resulting in a decrease in conductance. Therefore, the statement "Specific conductance increases on dilution" is incorrect.Rate this question:

The specific conductance of a 0.01 M solution of KCl is 0.0014 ohm−1cm−1 at 25oC. Its equivalent conductance is
- A.
140
- B.
1.4
- C.
14.0
- D.
0.14
Correct Answer
A. 140Explanation
The specific conductance of a solution is the conductance of a 1 cm^3 cell containing the solution. The equivalent conductance is the conductance of a solution containing 1 equivalent of the electrolyte. The equivalent conductance can be calculated by multiplying the specific conductance by the volume of the solution in liters and dividing by the number of equivalents of the electrolyte. Since the solution is 0.01 M KCl, which is a 1:1 electrolyte, it contains 0.01 equivalents of KCl. Therefore, the equivalent conductance is 0.0014 ohm^-1cm^-1 * 0.01 L / 0.01 equivalents = 0.0014 ohm^-1cm^-1 * 1 L / 1 equivalents = 0.0014 ohm^-1cm^-1. Converting to scientific notation, the equivalent conductance is 1.4 x 10^-3 ohm^-1cm^-1, which is equivalent to 140 ohm^-1cm^-1. Therefore, the correct answer is 140.Rate this question:

How many coulombs of electricity are consumed when a 100 mA current is passed through a solution of AgNO3 for 30 minutes during electrolysis?
- A.
108
- B.
180
- C.
18000
- D.
3000
Correct Answer
B. 180Explanation
When a current of 100 mA is passed through a solution of AgNO3 for 30 minutes, we can calculate the amount of electricity consumed using the formula Q = I * t, where Q is the charge in coulombs, I is the current in amperes, and t is the time in seconds.
First, we need to convert the current from mA to A by dividing it by 1000. So, 100 mA becomes 0.1 A.
Next, we need to convert the time from minutes to seconds by multiplying it by 60. So, 30 minutes becomes 1800 seconds.
Now, we can calculate the charge: Q = 0.1 A * 1800 s = 180 C.
Therefore, the correct answer is 180.Rate this question:

The molar conductivity of a solution is inversely proportional to its resistance. In this case, the resistance of the 0.2 M solution is 50 Ω and the resistance of the 0.4 M solution is 260 Ω. Since the resistance of the 0.4 M solution is twice that of the 0.2 M solution, its molar conductivity will be half that of the 0.2 M solution. Therefore, the molar conductivity of the 0.4 M solution is 1.3 Sm-1 divided by 2, which equals 6.25 × 10-4.Rate this question:
