Given below are two statements: Statement I: Mohr's salt is composed of only three types of ions-ferrous, ammonium and sulphate. Statement II: If the molar conductance at infinite dilution of ferrous, ammonium and sulphate ions are x1, x2 and x3 S cm2 mol-1, respectively then the molar conductance for Mohr's salt solution at infinite dilution would be given by x1 + x2 + 2x3. In the light of the given statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Statement I: Mohr's salt is a double salt with chemical formula: When dissolved in water, it completely dissociates into three distinct ionic species: Thus, Statement I is true. Statement II: According to Kohlrausch's law of independent migration of ions: Statement II claims the expression is x1 + x2 + 2x3 (missing the coefficient 2 for ammonium). Thus, Statement II is false. Kohlrausch's law matches stoichiometric coefficients directly to the ion quantities released. Mohr's salt formula contains (NH4)2, requiring a multiplier of 2 for ammonium ion conductance. Class 12 Chemistry: Electrochemistry Class 12 Chemistry: d- and f-Block Elements

Q72 jee_main_2026_21_jan_morning Conductance of Electrolytic Solutions

The pH and conductance of a weak acid (HX) was found to be 5 and

4 \times 10⁻⁵

S, respectively. The conductance was measured under standard condition using a cell where the electrode plates having a surface area of

1 cm²

were at a distance of

15 cm

apart. The value of the limiting molar conductivity is .....

S m² mol⁻¹

. (nearest integer) (Given: degree of dissociation of the weak acid

(α) ll 1)

Numerical Answer. Answer: 6 to 6

Solution

Related Formula

κ = G \times (l)/(A)

Λm = (κ \times 1000)/(C)

α = ΛmΛm\infty

$[H^+] = Cα$ $[H^+] = C\alpha$

Core Logic

Given: $pH = 5$ $pH = 5$, so $[H^+] = 10⁻⁵ M$ $[H^+] = 10^{-5}\text{ M}$. Since $[H^+] = C \cdot α = C \cdot ΛmΛm\infty$ , we have $10⁻⁵ = C \cdot ΛmΛm\infty$ .

First, calculate conductivity ( $κ$ $\kappa$): Conductance $G = 4 \times 10⁻⁵ S$ $G = 4 \times 10^{-5}\text{ S}$. Cell constant $G^* = (l)/(A) = 15 cm1 cm² = 15 cm⁻¹$ .

κ = G \cdot G^* = (4 \times 10⁻⁵) \times 15 = 6 \times 10⁻⁴ S cm⁻¹

Molar conductivity ( $Λm$ $\Lambda_m$):

Λm = (κ \times 1000)/(C) = 6 \times 10⁻⁴ \times 1000C = (0.6)/(C)

Substitute $Λm$ $\Lambda_m$ into the proton concentration formula:

[H^+] = 10⁻⁵ = C \cdot 0.6 / CΛm\infty

10⁻⁵ = 0.6Λm\infty

Λm\infty = 0.610⁻⁵ = 60000 S cm² mol⁻¹

Convert units to $S m² mol⁻¹$ $\text{S m}^2\text{ mol}^{-1}$: Since $1 m² = 10⁴ cm²$ $1\text{ m}^2 = 10^4\text{ cm}^2$,

Λm\infty = 60000 \times 10⁻⁴ S m² mol⁻¹ = 6 S m² mol⁻¹

Core Logic

For a closed circuit Daniell cell operating under given conditions, standard cell potential $Ecell°$ $E_{\text{cell}}^{\circ}$ remains constant with time during discharge until equilibrium or noticeable concentration shifts occur in a specific manner, or cell potential versus time plots reflect constancy of standard electromotive force terms before polarization effects take over.

Step 1: Final Conclusion

Plot 2 accurately depicts the expected trend where $Ecell°$ $E_{\text{cell}}^{\circ}$ remains constant with time.

MX(s) leftharpoons M^+(aq) + X^-(aq); Kₛₚ = 10⁻¹⁰

If the standard reduction potential for

M^+(aq) arrow M(s)

is

(EM^+/M) = 0.79 V

, then the value of the standard reduction potential for the metal/metal insoluble salt electrode

EX^-/MX(s)/M

is

____ mV

. (nearest integer) [Given:

(2.303RT)/(F) = 0.059 V

]

Numerical Answer. Answer: 200 to 200

Solution

Related Formula

$EX^-/MX/M° = EM^+/M° + (0.059)/(n) Kₛₚ$ r

Core Logic

Substituting the given values:

EX^-/MX/M° = 0.79 + (0.059)/(1) (10⁻¹⁰)

EX^-/MX/M° = 0.79 + 0.059(-10) = 0.79 - 0.59 = 0.20 V

Step 1: Converting to Millivolts

0.20 V = 200 mV

Q72 jee_main_2026_22_january_morning Nernst Equation

Consider the following electrochemical cell at 298K

Pt | HSnO₂⁻(aq) | Sn(OH)₆²⁻(aq) || Bi₂O₃(s) | Bi(s)

If the reaction quotient at a given time is

10⁶

, then the cell EMF

(Ecell)

is

x \times 10⁻¹ V

(Nearest integer). Given the standard half-cell reduction potential as

E_Bi₂O₃/Bi,OH⁻⁰ = -0.44 V and E_Sn(OH)₆²⁻/HSnO₂⁻,OH⁻⁰ = -0.90 V

Numerical Answer. Answer: 4 to 4

Solution

Related Formula

Ecell = Ecell° - (0.0591)/(n) Q

(Using 0.06 for approximation if needed, as per standard practice unless specified).

Core Logic

First, calculate $E°cell$ $E^{\circ}_{cell}$:

E°cell = E°cathode - E°anode

E°cell = (-0.44 V) - (-0.90 V) = +0.46 V

Identify the number of transferred electrons ( $n$ $n$) for the overall reaction. Anode reaction: $Sn²⁺ arrow Sn⁴⁺ + 2e⁻$ $Sn^{2+} \rightarrow Sn^{4+} + 2e^{-}$ (Tin goes from +2 in $HSnO₂^-$ $HSnO_2^-$ to +4 in $Sn(OH)₆²⁻$ $Sn(OH)_6^{2-}$). Cathode reaction: $Bi³⁺ + 3e⁻ arrow Bi$ $Bi^{3+} + 3e^{-} \rightarrow Bi$ (Bismuth goes from +3 in $Bi₂O₃$ $Bi_2O_3$ to 0). To balance the electrons, we multiply anode by 3 and cathode by 2, yielding $n = 6$ $n = 6$ total electrons transferred.

Step 1: Apply Nernst Equation

Applying the Nernst equation (approximating 0.0591 to 0.06 for simplicity):

Ecell = E°cell - (0.06)/(n) ₁₀ Q

Ecell = 0.46 - (0.06)/(6) ₁₀(10⁶)

Ecell = 0.46 - 0.01 \times 6

Ecell = 0.46 - 0.06 = 0.40 V

Step 2: Format Output

The problem asks for the answer in the form $x \times 10⁻¹ V$ $x \times 10^{-1}\text{ V}$.

0.40 = 4 \times 10⁻¹

So, $x = 4$ $x = 4$.

Pattern Recognition

Be extremely careful finding 'n'. You must balance the half-reactions. A +2 to +4 change (n=2) and a +3 to 0 change (n=3) resolves to a common multiple of 6.
