(a) Out of the following pairs, predict with reason which pair will allow greater conduction of electricity :
(i) Silver wire at or silver wire at
.
(ii) 0·1 M solution or 1 M
solution.
(iii) KCl solution at or KCl solution at
.
(b) Give two points of differences between electrochemical and electrolytic cells
(a) (i) Silver wire at will allow greater conduction of electricity because as temperature decreases, resistance decreases Hence, conduction increases.
(ii) 0.1 M CH3COOH will allow greater conduction of electricity, because on dilution degree of ionization increases hence conduction increases
(iii) KCl solution at will allow greater conduction of electricity, because at high temperature mobility of ions increases and hence conductance increases
(b)
Electrochemical Cell
(1) Anode -ve Cathode +ve (2) Convert chemical Energy to electrical energy
Electrolytic Cell
(1) Anode +ve Cathode -ve
(2) Convert electrical Energy to chemical energy
