Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Rate of diffusion is defined as the total movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration to lower concentration.

The interaction between medium and the material is responsible for the rate of diffusion of a material or substance.

A small concentration gradient means small difference in the number of molecules taking part in a reaction. So, when there no large difference between the concentration then there won't be much difference in the rate of diffusion of a material.

Whereas a higher concentration of molecules will lead to more number of collisions due to which frequency of molecules increases. Therefore, rate of diffusion will also increase.

Small molecule size will also lead to increases in rate of diffusion. This is because according to Graham's law rate of diffusion is inversely proportional to molar mass of an element. Hence, smaller size molecule will have smaller mass. As a result, rate of diffusion will be more.

High temperature means more kinetic energy of molecules due to which more number of collisions will be there. Hence, rate of diffusion will also increase.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options a small concentration gradient  is least likely to increase the rate of diffusion.

Consider the following voltaic cell:(b) In which half-cell does oxidation occur?
damaskus [11]

At the anode, half-cell oxidation occurs in a voltaic cell.

<h3>Voltaic Cell Principle</h3>

A voltaic cell generates electricity due to the Gibbs free energy of spontaneous redox processes occurring inside the cell, which is the basis for the voltaic cell's operating principle.

Two half-cells plus a salt bridge make up the voltaic cell. An electrolyte-immersed metallic electrode is present on each side of the cell. These two half-cells are wired together to form a connection to a voltmeter.

<h3>Voltaic Cell Parts</h3>
  • Copper makes comprises the cathode of a photovoltaic cell. This electrode serves as the cell's positive terminal, where reduction takes place.
  • Anode: Zink metal makes up this electrode. It creates the cell's negative electrode, where oxidation takes place.
  • Oxidation and reduction are divided into two discrete parts in two half-cells.
  • Salt Bridge: It contains the electrolytes needed to finish the circuit in the voltaic cell.
  • The flow of electrons between the electrodes occurs via the external circuit.

Answer:

a) H2SO4 + 2KOH -> 2H2O + K2SO4

b) 9.809 ml

Explanation:

Number of Moles = Mass/ Molar Mass

Therefore: Mass = Number of moles * Molar Mass

--------------------------------------------

Molar mass of H2SO4:

H2= 2.02

S= 32.07

O4= 64

--------------------------------------------

H2SO4 has the molar mass of 98.09

--------------------------------------------

the Moles of H2SO4 is given to be 0.100M

Therefore:

Mass= 98.09*0.1

          = 9.809g

---------------------------------------------------

Assuming that 1 g= 1 ml, the volume of sulfuric acid is 9.809 ml.
