19853 Which one of the following metals could not be obtained on electrolysis of aqueous solution of its salts
(b )The reduction potential of Mg is less than that of water (Eo=−0.83V). Hence their ions in the aqueous solution cannot be reduced instead water will be reduced2H2O+2e−→H2+2OH−.
19854 Which of the following aqueous solution will conduct an electric current quite well
(b) HCl is an electrolyte.
19855 On the electrolysis of aqueous solution of sodium sulphate, on cathode we get
(b) Water is reduced at the cathode and oxidized at the anode instead of Na+and SO42−.Cathode: 2H2O+2e−→H2+2OH−Anode : H2O→2H++12O2+2e−.
19856 Electrolysis involves oxidation and reduction respectively at
(a)In electrolysis process oxidation occurs at anode and reduction occurs at cathode.
19857 Which of the following compounds will not undergo decomposition on passing electricity through aqueous solution
(a)Because in it covalent bonding is present.
