Question 5

Why is it necessary to add acid to water before proceeding with electrolysis of 'water'?

Solution 5

Pure water does not conduct electricity because the degree of ionization is low. Thus to make it a good conductor of electricity acid is added to it which will increase the degree of ionization.

(b) Non- electrolyte are substances which do not conduct electricity in fused or aqueous state. They contain only molecules and do not ionize. For example: petrol, alcohol.
(c) If the electrolyte is described as 'strong electrolyte' it means it completely dissociates into its constituting ions in aqueous solution.

Question 8

Solution 8

(a) As for every copper ion discharged at the cathode, an ion of copper is formed at the anode which goes into the solution .Since atoms of copper are deposited at the cathode, the cathode becomesthicker and as the atoms of copper from the anode change into ions of copper, the anode becomes thinner.
(b) When platinum rods are used as electrodes, then x the blue colour of copper sulphate solution fades and sulphuric acid is formed. This is because oxygen is liberated at anode and copper metal is deposited at cathode
(c) Practical application of electrolysis of copper sulphate solution: This is the basis for purification of copper.
   Other metals like Zinc, Nickel, Silver .Lead can also be purified.

Similarly in case of electrolysis:
At cathode: The cations gain electron and become neutral. As the electrons are gained the ion is said to be reduced.
At anode: The anions lose electron to form neutral atoms. As the electrons are lost the ion is said to be oxidized.
Hence in electrolysis also the oxidation and reduction occurs hence it is an example of Redox reaction.

and the bulb glows brightly.

Cell B contains both ions and molecules. So, there are few

ions to conduct electricity and the bulb glows dimly.

Question 7

Give appropriate scientific reasons for the following statements:

(i) Zinc oxide can be reduced to zinc by using carbon monoxide, but aluminium oxide cannot be reduced by a reducing agent

(ii) Carbon tetrachloride does not conduct electricity.

(iv) The electrical conductivity of acetic acid is less in comparision to the electrical conductivity of dilute sulphuric acid at a given concentration

(v) Electrolysis of molten lead bromide is considered to be a redox reaction

Solution 7

(i) Zinc is lower in the reactivity series, so it is comparatively less reactive. Hence, it is reduced by using carbon monoxide. But aluminium is very reactive; hence, it cannot be reduced by using a reducing agent and it can be reduced only by electrolytic reduction.

(ii) Carbon tetrachloride is a liquid and does not conduct electricity because it is a covalent compound and there are no free ions present and it contains only molecules.

(iii) In electrolysis of molten lead bromide, reactive bromine is liberated at the anode. As bromine is very reactive, an inert electrode like graphite is preferred in the electrolysis of molten lead bromide.

(iv) Acetic acid is a weak acid and has fewer ions, so conductivity is less, whereas dilute sulphuric acid is a strong acid and has more ions, and therefore, its electrical conductivity is more.

(v) During electrolysis of lead bromide, there is loss of electrons at the anode by bromine and gain of electrons at the cathode by lead. Thus, oxidation and reduction occur side by side. So, it is a redox reaction.

Question 2

Give reasons why:

(i) Sodium chloride will conduct electricity only in fused or aqueous solution state

(ii) In the electroplating of an article with silver, the electrolyte sodium argento-cynide solution is preferred over silver nitrate solution

(iii) Although copper is a good conductor of electricity, it is a non-electrolyte.

Solution 2

(i) Electrostatic forces of attraction between ions in the solid state are very strong. These forces weaken in the fused state or in the solution state. Hence, ions become mobile.

(ii) If silver nitrate solution is used directly instead of double cyanide of silver and sodium, the deposition of silver will be very fast and hence not very smooth and uniform. 

(iii) Copper has no mobile electrons in the solid state and an electrolyte should dissociate into oppositely charged ions to conduct electricity.

Hence, copper is a non-electrolyte.
