The correct Answer is:
To determine which statements are not correct, we need to analyze each statement one by one based on the principles of electrochemistry. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement 1**: "Same quantity of electricity deposits more iron from ferric sulfate solution than from ferrous sulfate solution." - **Analysis**: - Ferric ion (Fe³⁺) requires 3 electrons to be reduced to solid iron (Fe). - Ferrous ion (Fe²⁺) requires 2 electrons to be reduced to solid iron (Fe). - For the same quantity of electricity (in Faradays), more moles of iron will be deposited from the ferrous sulfate solution because it requires fewer electrons per mole of iron deposited. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **incorrect**. 2. **Statement 2**: "Electrochemical equivalent of an element can be obtained by dividing its equivalent weight by 96500." - **Analysis**: - The electrochemical equivalent (E) is indeed calculated using the formula: \[ E = \frac{\text{Equivalent weight}}{96500} \] - This is a standard formula in electrochemistry. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **correct**. 3. **Statement 3**: "1 Faraday always liberates 1 mole of substance at the electrode." - **Analysis**: - The amount of substance liberated depends on the n-factor (number of electrons involved in the reaction). - For example, if the n-factor is 1, then 1 Faraday will liberate 1 mole of substance. If the n-factor is 2, then 1 Faraday will liberate 0.5 moles of substance. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **incorrect**. 4. **Statement 4**: "A 60 watt bulb emits 60 joules of energy per second." - **Analysis**: - Power (in watts) is defined as energy (in joules) per unit time (in seconds). Therefore, a 60-watt bulb indeed emits 60 joules of energy per second. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **correct**. ### Final Conclusion: The statements that are **not correct** are: - Statement 1 - Statement 3

To determine which statements are not correct, we need to analyze each statement one by one based on the principles of electrochemistry. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement 1**: "Same quantity of electricity deposits more iron from ferric sulfate solution than from ferrous sulfate solution." - **Analysis**: - Ferric ion (Fe³⁺) requires 3 electrons to be reduced to solid iron (Fe). - Ferrous ion (Fe²⁺) requires 2 electrons to be reduced to solid iron (Fe). ...
