Question
The potential of each electrode is known as electrode potential. Standard electrode potential is the potential when concentration of each species taking part in electrode reaction is unity and the reaction is taking place at 298K. By convention, the standard electrode potential of hydrogen (SHE) is 0.0V. The electrode potential value for each electrode process is a measure of relative tendency of the active species in the process to remain in the oxidised/ reduced form. The negative electrode potential means that the redox couple is stronger reducing agent than $\frac{\text{H}^+}{\text{H}_2}$ couple. A positive electrode potential means that the redox couple is a weaker reducing agent than the $\frac{\text{H}^+}{\text{H}_2}$ couple. Metals which have higher positive value of standard reduction potential form the oxides of greater thermal stability.

In these questions (Q. No. i-iv), a statement of assertion followed by a statement ofreason is given. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.

  1. Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion.
  2. Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation for assertion.
  3. Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.
  4. Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.

Reason: A reaction is spontaneous if the free energy change is negative.

  1. Assertion: The standard electrode potential of hydrogen is 0.0V.

Reason: It is by convention.

  1. Assertion: The more negative is the standard reduction potential, greater is its ability to displace H2 from acid.

Reason: Strength of reducing agent increases with the increase in negative value of the standard reduction potential.

  1. Assertion: The negative value of standard reduction potential means that reduction takes place on this electrode with reference to hydrogen electrode.

Reason: The standard electrode potential of a half cell has a fixed value.

  1. Assertion: The absolute value of electrode potential cannot be determined experimentally.

Reason: The electrode potential values are generally determined with respect to SHE.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions: Boiling point or freezing point of liquid solution would be affected by the dissolved solids in the liquid phase. A soluble solid in solution has the effect of raising its boiling point and depressing its freezing point. The addition of non-volatile substances to a solvent decreases the vapor pressure and the added solute particles affect the formation of pure solvent crystals. According to many researches the decrease in freezing point directly correlated to the concentration of solutes dissolved in the solvent. This phenomenon is expressed as freezing point depression and it is useful for several applications such as freeze concentration of liquid food and to find the molar mass of an unknown solute in the solution. Freeze concentration is a high quality liquid food concentration method where water is removed by forming ice crystals. This is done by cooling the liquid food below the freezing point of the solution. The freezing point depression is referred as a colligative property and it is proportional to the molar concentration of the solution (m), along with vapor pressure lowering, boiling point elevation, and osmotic pressure. These are physical characteristics of solutions that depend only on the identity of the solvent and the concentration of the solute. The characters are not depending on the solute’s identity.
  1. When a non volatile solid is added to pure water it will:
  1. boil above 100°C and freeze above 0°C
  2. boil below 100°C and freeze above 0°C
  3. boil above 100°C and freeze below 0°C
  4. boil below 100°C and freeze below 0°C
  1. Colligative properties are:
  1. dependent only on the concentration of the solute and independent of the solvent’s and solute’s identity.
  2. dependent only on the identity of the solute and the concentration of the solute and independent of the solvent's identity.
  3. dependent on the identity of the solvent and solute and thus on the concentration of the solute.
  4. dependent only on the identity of the solvent and the concentration of the solute and independent of the solute’s identity.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:

When a solution of an et-amino acid is placed in an electric field depending on the pH of the medium, following three cases may happen.

  1. In alkaline solution, CL-amino acids exist as anion II, and there is a net migration of amino acid towards the anode.
  2. In acidic solution, a-amino acids exist as cation III, and there is a net migration of amino acid towards the cathode.
  3. If II and III are exactly balanced there is no net migration; under such conditions any one molecule exists as a positive ion and as a negative ion for exactly the same amount of time, and any small movement in the direction of one electrode is subsequently cancelled by an equal movement back toward the other electrode. The pH of the solution in which a particular amino acid does not migrate under the influence of an electric field is called the is oelectric point of that amino acid.
