In electrolysis of NaCl when Pt electrode is taken then H2 is liberated at cathode while with Hg cathode it forms sodium amalgam because
Hg is more inert than Pt
More voltage is required to reduce H+ at Hg than at Pt
Na is dissolved in Hg while it does not dissolve in Pt
Concentration of H+ ions is larger when Pt electrode is taken
Standard reduction potentials at 25oC of Li+ / Li, Ba2+ / Ba, Na+ / Na and Mg2+ / Mg are -3.05, -2.90, -2.71 and -2.37 volt respectively. Which one of the following is the strongest oxidising agent?
Mg2+
Ba2+
Na+
Li+
An electrochemical cell is shown below
Pt, H2 (1 atm) |HCl (0.1 M)| CH3COOH(0.1 M)| H2 (1 atm), Pt. the emf of the cell will not be zero, because
emf depends on molarities of acids used
pH of 0.1 M HCl and 0.1 M CH3CHOOH is not same
The temperature is constant
Acids used in two compartments are different
