The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of selecting the wrong statement, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step 1: Analyze the first statement **Statement:** Electrolysis of molten calcium hydride liberates hydrogen at the cathode. - Calcium hydride (CaH₂) dissociates into calcium ions (Ca²⁺) and hydride ions (H⁻) during electrolysis. - At the cathode, reduction occurs. The possible reduction reactions are: - Ca²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Ca (s) - H⁻ + e⁻ → H₂ (g) - However, H⁻ cannot be reduced to H₂ because it is already in a reduced state. Instead, H⁻ will be oxidized at the anode to produce hydrogen gas (H₂). - Therefore, the statement is incorrect as it claims hydrogen is liberated at the cathode. **Conclusion for Step 1:** The first statement is wrong. ### Step 2: Analyze the second statement **Statement:** During the discharge of a lead storage battery, sulfuric acid is consumed. - In a lead storage battery, the discharge reaction involves the conversion of lead dioxide (PbO₂) and sponge lead (Pb) into lead sulfate (PbSO₄) while consuming sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄). - Therefore, this statement is correct. **Conclusion for Step 2:** The second statement is correct. ### Step 3: Analyze the third statement **Statement:** Sulfur acts as a polymerization agent for the vulcanization of rubber. - Vulcanization is a process that involves the addition of sulfur to rubber, which creates cross-links between the polymer chains, enhancing the elasticity and strength of rubber. - Thus, this statement is also correct. **Conclusion for Step 3:** The third statement is correct. ### Step 4: Analyze the fourth statement **Statement:** Galvanization of iron denotes coating with zinc. - Galvanization is indeed the process of applying a protective zinc coating to iron or steel to prevent rusting. - This statement is correct. **Conclusion for Step 4:** The fourth statement is correct. ### Final Conclusion After analyzing all the statements, we find that the first statement is the only incorrect one. Therefore, the answer to the question is: **Answer:** The wrong statement is option A: "Electrolysis of molten calcium hydride liberates hydrogen at the cathode." ---
