2KI + Cl→ 2KCI + l2 (violet)
2KI + Br2 → 2KBr + l2 (violet)
Br2 formed also oxidises Kl to l2 (violet)

Test: Electrochemical Series - Question 2

Select the correct statement(s) about galvanic cell (Daniell cell) with E° cell​ = 1.10 V

Detailed Solution for Test: Electrochemical Series - Question 2

E° cell = 1.10 V
(a) Hence , when Eext < 1.10 V, reaction continues till the Eext reaches 1.10 V and
Zn(s) + Cu2+(aq) → Cu(s) + Zn2+(aq)
thus , zinc dissolves at anode and Cu deposits at cathode.
(b) When Eext = 1.10 V , no reaction.
(c) When Eext > 1.10V, reverse reaction takes place,

It now acts as electrolytic cell.
Zinc deposits at zinc plate which is now the cathode (+ ve plate) and Cu dissolves as Cu2+ at copper plate which is now the anode (- ve plate)

Test: Electrochemical Series - Question 3

Given, 

Ag+/Ag = 0.80 V
Mg2+/Mg = -2.37 V
Cu2+/Cu = + 0.34V 
Hg2+/Hg = 0.79V

Q.

Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct?

Detailed Solution for Test: Electrochemical Series - Question 3

Based on electro chemical series, reactivity series is

(a) 2Ag+ + Cu → Cu2+ 2Ag
Cu is a better reducing agent than Ag hence Ag+ is reduced by Cu. Thus AgNO3 can not be stored in copper vessel.
(b) Cu2+ + Mg → Mg2+ + Cu
Mg will reduce Cu2+ to Cu thus can not be stored.
(c) Cu2+ + 2Ag → Cu + 2 Ag+
Cu is better reducing agent hence CuCI2 can be stored in silver vessel.
(d) Hg2+ + Cu → Cu2+ + Hg
Cu is better reducing agent. Hence, HgCI2 can not be stored in copper vessel. 

Test: Electrochemical Series - Question 4

One mole of Ag2CO3 is strongly heated in an open vessel. Residue wll be 

Detailed Solution for Test: Electrochemical Series - Question 4

Oxides of the metals are decomposed to metals if in electro chemical series , Eored > 0 .7 9 V

For A g, E°Ag+/Ag = 0.80 V hence Ag2O is decomposed to metals. Products are Ag , CO2 and O2. Since reaction takes place in an open vessel, CO2 and O2 escape from mixture, residue being 2 moles of silver.

Test: Electrochemical Series - Question 5

Zinc ,silver and iron plates are dipped in CuSO4 solutions placed in different vessels as shown:

 

Blue colour of CuSO4 fades in  

Detailed Solution for Test: Electrochemical Series - Question 5

Blue colour fades or changes to colourless if Cu2+ is reduced to Cu.

In electrochemical series (ECS), reactivity order is Zn, Fe, Cu, Ag

Thus, Zn and Fe reduce Cu2+ to Cu but Ag does not reduce Cu2+. Thus, in I and III, CuSO4 changes to colourless or fades by zinc and iron plates.

Test: Electrochemical Series - Question 6

For the following half -cell reactions ,E° values are:

Mn2+(aq) + 2H2O(l)  MnO2(s) + 4H+(aq) + 2e-, E0 = -1.23V

MnO-4 (aq) + 4H+(aq) +3e-  MnO2(s) + 2H2O(l), E0 = +1.70 V

 Thus  

Detailed Solution for Test: Electrochemical Series - Question 6

3Mn2+(aq) + 2MnO4-(aq)+ 2H2O (/) → 5MnO2(s) + 4H+  E°cell = 0.47 V
Since E°cell > 0, hence spontaneous.
Thus, Mn2+ is oxidised to MnO2 by MnO4- in acidic medium.

Test: Electrochemical Series - Question 7

These metals based on E°red values are placed in the following order:


Mg will reduce and Ag+ to metals Cu, Hg, Ag.
Cu will reduce and Ag+ to Hg, Ag, Hg will reduce Ag+ to Ag.
Ag+ is reduced by all metals thus Ag first. Hg2+ is reduced by Cu, Mg thus Hg. Cu2+ is reduced by Mg only, thus Cu.
Thus, deposition : 

Test: Electrochemical Series - Question 13

The standard reduction potentials at 298K for the following half-cell are given

Which is the strongest reducing agent?

Detailed Solution for Test: Electrochemical Series - Question 13

In electrochemical series (ECS), elements have been arranged in the increasing standard reduction potential starting from most negative to most positive value w.r.t. SHE (E°she= 0.00 V).

Most negative standard reduction potential means most easily oxidised and thus is the best reducing agent.

OR Reducing agent in (ECS) is always above oxidising agent. Thus, Zn(s) is the best reducing agent in given set.

Test: Electrochemical Series - Question 14

The Eo M3+/M2+ values for Cr, Mn, Fe and Co are - 0.41 V, +1,57 V, + 0.77 V and m /m 1.97 V respectively. For which one of these metals the change in oxidation state from +2 to +3 is easiest?

Detailed Solution for Test: Electrochemical Series - Question 14


Mn3+ + e- → Mn2+ + 1.57 V
Fe3+ + e- → Fe2+ + 0.77 V
Co3+ + e- → Co2+ + 1.97 

Cr3+/Cr2+ with most negative E°red is the best reducing agent.
Cr2+→ Cr3+ + e- , E° = 0.41 V
Thus, is oxidised from Cr2+ to Cr3+ most easily.

Test: Electrochemical Series - Question 15

Most negative E°red means the Mn+/M is at the top of ECS and is the best reducing agent.

Test: Electrochemical Series - Question 16

Statement Type

Direction : This section is based on Statement I and Statement II. Select the correct answer from the codes given below.

Statement I : CuSO4 can be stored in a vessel made of zinc.

Statement II :  w.r.t SHE   

Detailed Solution for Test: Electrochemical Series - Question 16

Zn2+/Zn = -0.76 V
Cu2+/Cu = + 0.34 V

In electrochemical series, zinc is above copper and thus zinc is a better reducing agent than copper. When CuS04 is placed in zinc vessel, copper is displaced

Thus, CuSO4 cannot be stored in a vessel made of zinc.
Thus, statement I is incorrect and statement II is correct.

Test: Electrochemical Series - Question 17

Statement I​ : When AgNO3 solution is stirred with a spoon made of copper,solution turns blue.

Statement II : In electrochemical series ,copper is above silver

Detailed Solution for Test: Electrochemical Series - Question 17

In electrochemical series, copper is above silver thus is a better reducing agent. When AgNO3 solution is stirred with copper spoon, Ag is displaced and copper is oxidised to Cu2+ (blue).

Thus, statement I and II are correct and statement II is the correct explanation of statement I.

*Multiple options can be correct

cell > 0 thus spontaneous
Cu2+/Cu couple is thus a stronger oxidising agent. Reverse reaction is non-spontaneous.
Cu + 2H+ → Cu2+ + H2, E°cell = - 0.34 V
Thus, copper cannot displace H2 from acid.

*Multiple options can be correct
Test: Electrochemical Series - Question 19

Thus, copper does not react with H+ (dil. H2SO4) forming H2.

Since E°cell > 0, Thus copper reacts with cone. H2SO4 forming SO2.
(c) Zn + +4H+ → Zn2+ + SO2 + 2H2O
cell = 1.93 V, E°cell > 0, thus zinc also reacts with conc.
H2SO4 forming SO2.
(d) Zn + 2H+ → Zn2+ + H2, E°cell = 0.76 V
cell > 0, thus zinc reacts with dil. H2SO4 forming H2.
