Science (English Medium) Class 12 - CBSE Question Bank Solutions for Chemistry

Concentration terms such as mass percentage, ppm, mole fraction and molality are independent of temperature, however molarity is a function of temperature. Explain.

Why soda water bottle kept at room temperature fizzes on opening?

What is “semi permeable membrane”?

Assertion: Molarity of a solution in liquid state changes with temperature.

Reason: The volume of a solution changes with change in temperature.

Assertion: When a solution is separated from the pure solvent by a semipermeable membrane, the solvent molecules pass through it from pure solvent side to the solution side.

Reason: Diffusion of solvent occurs from a region of high concentration solution to a region of low concentration solution.

Explain the terms ideal and non-ideal solutions in the light of forces of interactions operating between molecules in liquid solutions.

In the electrolysis of aqueous sodium chloride solution which of the half cell reaction will occur at anode?

What will happen during the electrolysis of aqueous solution of \[\ce{CuSO4}\] by using platinum electrodes?

(i) Copper will deposit at cathode.

(ii) Copper will deposit at anode.

(iii) Oxygen will be released at anode.

(iv) Copper will dissolve at anode.

What will happen during the electrolysis of aqueous solution of CuSO₄ in the presence of Cu electrodes?

(i) Copper will deposit at cathode.

(ii) Copper will dissolve at anode.

(iii) Oxygen will be released at anode.

(iv) Copper will deposit at anode.

Aqueous copper sulphate solution and aqueous silver nitrate solution are electrolysed by 1 ampere current for 10 minutes in separate electrolytic cells. Will the mass of copper and silver deposited on the cathode be same or different? Explain your answer.

Assertion: Electrolysis of NaCl solution gives chlorine at anode instead of O₂.

Reason: Formation of oxygen at anode requires overvoltage.

At temperatures above 1073 K coke can be used to reduce \[\ce{FeO}\] to \[\ce{Fe}\]. How can you justify this reduction with Ellingham diagram?

Why are sulphide ores converted to oxide before reduction?
