Select the ion in the following case, that would get selectively discharged from the aqueous mixture of the ions listed below:

Pb²⁺, Ag⁺ and Cu²⁺

Name two substances in the following case:

Contain only ions.

Explain the following:

On electrolysis of dilute copper (II) sulphate solution, copper is deposited at the cathode but no hydrogen gas evolves there. Explain why?

Explain the following: 

When a dilute aqueous solution of sodium chloride is electrolysed between platinum electrodes, hydrogen gas is evolved at the cathode but metallic sodium is not deposited. Why?

Arrange the following according to the instruction given in bracket:

Cu²⁺, Na⁺, Zn²⁺, Ag⁺ (The order of Preferential discharge at the cathode)

Name two substances in the following case:

Contain ions as well as molecules.

Identify the substance underlined, in the following case

The electrolyte used for electroplating an article with silver.

Name the following :

The process of coating of iron with zinc

Name the metallic ions that should be present in the electrolyte when an article made of copper is to be electroplated with silver.

Give reasons why In the electroplating of an article with silver, the electrolyte sodium argentocyanide solution is preferred over silver nitrate solution.
