This is a Short Answer Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Ans: Conductivity due to the total number of ions present in the solution is termed as specific conductivity. An increase in the number of ions per unit volume increases. In addition to water, the number of ions per unit volume decreases therefore conductivity decreases.

A. The reaction has a zero order. The concentration of the reactants does not change with time in a zero order reaction, and the rate of concentration remains constant

B. Slope of the curve is  - k

C. The rate constant's units are molL  ¹s ^{- 1}

Ans: pH of the substance depends on the concentration of hydronium ions present. Here the concentration of hydronium ions remains constant so pH remains constant.

The electrolysis reaction is as follows;

At anode: 2H₂O (l)→O₂ (g)+ 4H⁺ + 4e−

At cathode:4H⁺ + 4e⁻ →2H₂

Ans: Stronger electrolytes undergo cent percent dissociation. Electrolyte B will be the stronger electrolyte since the concentration of ions remains the same upon dilution.

Ans: The number of ions present in the cell decides the life-time of any cell. In mercury cells, ions are not involved so the mercury cell has a constant cell potential throughout its useful life.

Ans: Electrolysis of brine solution is as follows

NaCl (aq)→Na⁺ (aq)+Cl⁻ (aq)

At the cathode, the reaction goes this way,

H₂O (l) + e⁻→12H₂ (g)+OH⁻ (aq)

At the anode, the reaction goes this way,

Cl⁻ (aq)→12Cl₂ (g) + e⁻

The pH of the solution will increase as sodium hydroxide is being formed.

The concentration of the reactants does not change with time in a zero -order reaction, and the rate of concentration remains constant. The molecularity of a reaction cannot be 0 because it indicates the number of reactants involved.

This is a Short Answer Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Ans: Alternating current is used to stop electrolysis so that the concentration of the ions in the solution remains constant.
