Answer:

b. 2 mol of KI in 500. g of water

Explanation:

We have to apply the colligative property of freezing point depression.

The formula is: ΔT = Kf . m . i

As the (Kf . m . i) is higher, then the freezing temperature will be lower.

i refers to the Van't Hoff factor (number of ions dissolved in the solution)

KI → K⁺ + I⁻ (i =2)

Kf is constant so, we have to search for the highest m (molality)

Molality means the moles of solute in 1kg of solvent.

The highest m is option b → 2 mol of KI / 0.5 kg = 4 mol/kg

a. 1 mol of KI / 0.5 kg = 2 mol/kg

c. 1 mol of KI / 1kg = 1 mol/kg

d. 2 mol of KI / 1kg = 2 mol/kg

1000 g = 1kg. In order to determine molality we need to convert the mass (g) of solvent to kg

In an electrolytic cell, the magnitude of the standard cell potential is the:______

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

a. minimum voltage that must be supplied for a redox reaction to occur

c. always equal to Eanode - Ecathode

Explanation:

In an electrolytic cell; The electromotive force(the maximum standard potential difference) of the cell formed by the system is defined as the standard electrode potential of the right handed electrode minus the standard electrode potential of the left hand electrode. (i.e $\mathbf{E^{\theta}_{cell}=E_{anode} - E_{cathode}}$ )

As we all known that the process by which chemical energy is being converted to electrical energy is called the Electrochemical cell. It consists of two half cells , an oxidation half cell reaction and a reduction half-cell reaction.The overall redox reaction results in a flow of electrons in an electric current which is produced by a minimum voltage.

Therefore, option a and c are both correct.

Is the electrolysis of water an oxidation-reduction reaction??

QveST [7]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Electrolysis is an example of redox reaction because reduction takes place at cathode and oxidation takes place at anode and both of these reactions take place simultaneously.
