For the following reaction, which is correct statement \(2 H ^{+}( aq )+2 e^{-} \rightarrow H _2(g)\)
under non-standard conditions.
- A Ecell becomes more negative with an increase in partial pressure of \(H _2\) and \([ H +]\) ions.
- B Ecell becomes more positive with increase in partial pressure of \(H _2\) and \([ H +]\) ions.
- C Ecell becomes more negative with increase in partial pressure of \(H _2\) and decrease in \([ H +]\) ions.
- D Ecell becomes more positive with increase in partial pressure of \(H _2\) and decrease in \([ H +]\) ions.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Ecell becomes more negative with increase in partial pressure of \(H _2\) and decrease in \([ H +]\) ions.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The Nernst equation for the reaction is: \(E = E^0 - \frac{RT}{2F} \ln \left( \frac{P_{H_2}}{[H^+]^2} \right)\) An increase in \(P_{H_2}\) increases the \(\ln Q\) term, making \(E\) more negative. A decrease in \([H^+]\) increases the \(\ln Q\) term (due to \([H^+]^2\) in the…

There are mainly four series of the transition metals, \(3 d\) series ( \(S c\) to Zn), \(4 d\) series (Y to Cd), \(5 d\) series (La and Hf to Hg ) and 6d series which has Ac and elements from Rf to Cn . The two series of the inner transition metals; \(4 f\) ( Ce to Lu ) and \(5 f\) (Th to Lr ) are known as lanthanoids and actinoids respectively. Their chemical properties are transitional between those of \(s\) and \(p\) block elements. The transition metals (with the exception of Zn, Cd and Hg) are very hard and have low volatility. Their melting and boiling points are high. Transition metals have incomplete d subshell either in neutral atom or in their ions. With partly filled d orbitals these elements exhibit certain characteristic properties such as display of a variety of oxidation states, formation of coloured ions and entering into complex formation with a variety of ligands. The transition metals and their compounds are known for their catalytic activity.
In general the electronic configuration of outer orbitals of transition metals is \((n - 1)d^{1-10}ns^{1-2}\) but Pd shows an exceptional electronic configuration as......CUET 2025 Easy - A' \(+ H _2 O / H\) _________ ' \(B\) ' \(+ N a O H + C a O\) _________ Benzene

A homogeneous mixture of two or more than two components has uniform composition and properties. The binary solutions have two components, which may be solid, liquid or gas. The resultant solution has a larger amount of solvent and a smaller amount of solute. The amount of solute in a given amount of solvent decides the concentration of the resulting solution. The concentration can be expressed in various ways, like molarity, molality, normality and mole fraction.
