Electrolysis & Electrochemical Cells
Solution
What volume of Oxygen measured at s.t.p would be liberated on electrolysis by 9650 coulombs of electricity?
(Molar volume of gas = 22.4 dm\(^3\), 1F = 96,500 C/mol)
A
22.4 dm3
B
11.2 dm3
C
1.12 dm3
D
0.560 dm3
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
For a diatomic divalent element like oxygen, the following reaction takes place:
2H\(_2\)0 → O\(_2\) + 4H\(^+\) + 4e\(^-\)
⇒ 4e\(^-\) are transferred to liberate 1 mole of O\(_2\)
So, to calculate the volume of O\(_2\)
4 Faradays (4 x 96,500) of electricity to produce 22.4 dm\(^3\) of O\(_2\) at S.T.P
4 X 96,500 C = 22.4 dm\(^3\)
9650 C = x dm\(^3\)
x = \(\frac{9650 X 22.4}{ 4 X 96,500}\)
x = 0.56dm\(^3\)

Solve for x if \(25^{x} + 3(5^{x}) = 4\)
A
1 or -4
B
0
C
1
D
-4 or 0
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
\(25^{x} + 3(5^{x}) = 4\)
Let \(5^{x}\) = y.
\((5^{2})^{x} + 3(5^{x}) - 4 = 0\)
\(y^{2} + 3y - 4 = 0\)
\(y^{2} - y + 4y - 4 = 0\)
\(y(y - 1) + 4(y - 1) = 0\)
\((y + 4)(y - 1) = 0\)
\(y = -4 ; y = 1\)
y = -4 is not possible.
y = 1 \(\implies\) x = 0.

medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
Let the sum of the 12 numbers be x and the 13th number be y.
\(\frac{x}{12} = 3 \implies x = 36\)
\(\frac{36 + y}{13} = 5 \implies 36 + y = 65\)
\(y = 65 - 36 = 29\)
