Ans: Acetic acid is a weak electrolyte and the number of ions on dilution increases due to an increase in the degree of dissociation. In the case of strong electrolytes the number of ions remains the same but interionic attraction decreases.

Xenon form compounds due to the high electronegativity of fluorine and oxygen, low ionization energy compared to lighter noble gases, and the availability of empty d-orbitals. This breaks the old assumption about noble gases being entirely inert.

Ans: The cell reaction of a lead storage battery is as follows;

Pb + PbO₂ + 2H₂SO₄→2H₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

The density of electrolytes changes because water is formed and sulphuric acid is consumed as a product during discharge of the battery

The chance of more than three molecules meeting at the same time is extremely minimal, reactions with molecularity more than three are extremely rare. Simultaneous collisions decrease as the number grows, the probability is very low, and more than three reactions with molecularity are uncommon.

Ans: Primary batteries contain a limited amount of reactants and once consumed are discharged. Secondary batteries take a long time to recharge. Fuel cells run continuously as long as reactants are supplied to them and products are consumed

With the combination of two different halogens, the interhalogen compounds are formed. When compared with pure diatomic halogen molecules, they are more reactive because the bond between different halogens are more polar and weaker. During reactions, it makes them more susceptible to bond cleavage.

The activation energy for fuel combustion reactions is very large, and because every substance or element requires an ignition temperature to function and excite to a higher temperature, oxygen in air does not combust to fire.

Ans: The reactions taking place in the Daniel cell is as follows;

Zn⁺ + Cu²⁺ → Zn²⁺ + Cu

The number of electrons involved in two. The Nernst equation is as follows;

E_{cell =} E $°$ _cell - $\frac{-0.059}{2}$  log $\frac{\left[Z{n^2}^{+}\right]}{\left[C{u^2}^{+}\right]}$

From the above equation, we conclude that increasing the concentration of Zn^2+, E_cell will decrease.

Ans: The given cell reaction consists of two half cell reactions represented below as follows;

At anode: Cu→Cu²⁺+ 2e⁻

At cathode: Cl² + 2e⁻ →2Cl⁻

Here oxidation of copper and reduction of chlorine is taking place
