After electrlysis of NaCI solution with ...

After electrlysis of `NaCI` solution with inert electrodes for a certain period of time `600mL` of the solution was left. Which was found to be `1N` in `NaOH`. During the same time, `31.75 g` of `Cu` deposited in the copper voltameter in series the electrolytic cell. calculate the percentage yield of `NaOH` obtained.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Equivalent mass of `NAOH =40`
Amouunt of `NAOH` formed `=40/1000xx600=24 g`
`31.75 g` of `Cu=1 g`-equivalent of `Cu`.
During the same period, 1 g-equivalent of `NaOH` should have been formed.
1 g-equivalent of `NaOH = 40 g`
% yield `=24/40xx100=60`

After electrolytes of NaCl solution with inert electrodes for a certain period of time 600 mL of the solution was left which was found to be 1N in NaOH. During the same time, 31.75 g of Cu deposited in the copper voltmeter in seris with the electrolytic cell. Calcualte the percentage yield of NaOH obtained.

Copper sulphate solution is electrolysed between two platinum electrodes. A current is passed unit 1.6 g of oxygen is liberated at anode. The amount of copper deposited at the cathode during the same period is:

3.0 g of impure Na_2CO_3 is dissolved in water and the solution is made up to 250 mL . To 50 " mL of " this solution, 50 " mL of " 0.1 N HCL is added and the mixture, after shaking well, required 10 " mL of " 0.16 N NaOH solution for cojmplete neutralisation. Calculate the percentage purity of the sample of Na_2CO_3 .

6.5 g mixture of sample containing KOH, NaOH, and Na_2CO_3 was dissolved in H_2O and the volume was made up to 250 mL. 25 " mL of " this solution requires 26.23 " mL of " 0.5 N H_2SO_4 using methyl orange as indicator, and 19.5 " mL of " same H_2SO_4 using phenolphathalein as indicator for complete neutralisation. Calculate the percentage of KOH, NaOH, and Na_2CO_3 in the sample.

Products of electrolysis depend on the nature of material being electrlysed and the type of electrodes being used. If the electrode is inert (e.g., platinum or gold), it does not participate in the chemical reaction and acts only as source or sink for electrons. On the other hand, if the electrode is reactive, it participates in the electrode reaction. thus, the products of electrolysis may be different for reactive and inert electrodes. Aqueous copper sulphate solution and aqueous silver nitrate solution are electrolysed by 1 ampere current for 10 minutes in separate electrolytic cells. In these question, a statement of assertion followed by a statement of reason. choose the correct answer out of the following choices. Q. Assertion (A): The mass of copper and silver, deposited on the cathode be same. Reason (R): Copper and silver have different equivalent masses.
