Answer : The correct option is, (3) the anode in both a voltaic cell and an electrolytic cell.

Explanation :

As we know that there are two types of cell which are, electrolytic cell and voltaic cell.

Electrolytic cell : It is a cell in which the chemical reaction occurs by passing of the current from external source.

In this electrolytic cell, the oxidation occurs at anode which is a positive electrode and reduction occurs at cathode which is a negative electrode.

Voltaic cell : It is defined as a device which is used for the conversion of the chemical energy produces in a redox reaction into the electrical energy. It is also known as the galvanic cell or electrochemical cell.

In the voltaic cell, the oxidation occurs at an anode which is a negative electrode and the reduction occurs at the cathode which is a positive electrode.

Hence, the oxidation occur in a voltaic cell and in an electrolytic cell at the anode in both a voltaic cell and an electrolytic cell.

How to draw Hess' Cycle for this question ?

NISA [10]

Answer : The standard enthalpy of formation of ethylene is, 51.8 kJ/mole

Explanation :

According to Hess’s law of constant heat summation, the heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation can be treated as ordinary algebraic expression and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. That means the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The formation reaction of $C_2H_4$ will be,

$2C(s)+2H_2(g)\rightarrow C_2H_4(g)$ $\Delta H_{formation}=?$

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction will be,

(1) $C_2H_4(g)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)$ $\Delta H_1=-1411kJ/mole$

(2) $C(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)$ $\Delta H_2=-393.7kJ/mole$

(3) $H_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow H_2O(l)$ $\Delta H_3=-285.9kJ/mole$

Now we will reverse the reaction 1, multiply reaction 2 and 3 by 2 then adding all the equations, we get :

(1) $2CO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow C_2H_4(g)+3O_2(g)$ $\Delta H_1=+1411kJ/mole$

(2) $2C(s)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CO_2(g)$ $\Delta H_2=2\times (-393.7kJ/mole)=-787.4kJ/mole$

(3) $2H_2(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)$ $\Delta H_3=2\times (-285.9kJ/mole)=-571.8kJ/mole$

The expression for enthalpy of formation of $C_2H_4$ will be,

$\Delta H_{formation}=\Delta H_1+\Delta H_2+\Delta H_3$

$\Delta H=(+1411kJ/mole)+(-787.4kJ/mole)+(-571.8kJ/mole)$

$\Delta H=51.8kJ/mole$

Therefore, the standard enthalpy of formation of ethylene is, 51.8 kJ/mole
