NCERT MOST IMPORTANT QUESTIONS ON REDOX REACTION
Question 1.
What are redox reactions? Give an example.
Answer:
Redox reaction is a reaction in which oxidation and reduction take place simultaneously, e.g.
Zn (s) + Cu2+(aq) → Zn2+(aq) + Cu(s)
Question 2.
Define oxidation and reduction in terms of electrons.
Answer:
Oxidation involves loss and reduction involves the gain of electrons.
Question 3.
How many grams of K2Cr2O7 is required to oxidize Fe2+ present in 15.2 gm of FeSO4 to Fe3+ if the reaction is carried out in an acidic medium.
Answer:
The balanced chemical equation for the redox reaction is
K2Cr2O7 + 6FeSO4 + 7H2SO4 → K2SO4 + Cr2(SO4)3 + 7H2O
from the balanced equation, it is clear that 6 moles of FeSO4 = 1
a mole of K2Cr2O7 or 6 × 152 gm of FeSO4 are oxidized by
K2Cr2O7 = 294 gm
or
15.2 gm of FeSO4 are oxidized by K2Cr2O7
Question 4.
15.0 cm3 of 0.12 M KMnO4 solution are required to oxidize 20 ml of FeSO4 solution in an acidic medium. What is the concentration of FeSO4 solution?
Answer:
The balanced chemical equation for the redox reaction is
2KMnO4 + 10FeSO4 + 8H2SO4 → K2SO4 + 2MnSO4 + 5Fe2(SO4)3 + 8 H2O
Applying molarity equation to the above redox reaction
Question 5.
16.6 gm of pure KI was dissolved in water and the solution was made up to one liter, cm3 of this solution was acidified with 20 cm3 of 2 MHCl the resulting solution required 10 cm3 of decinormal KIO3 for complete oxidation of I- ions to ICl. Find out the value of v.
Answer:
The chemical equation for the redox reaction is
IO- + 2I– + 6HCl → 3ICl + 3Cl– + 3H2O
Molarity of KI solution = 16.6166 = 0.1 m
Applying molarity equation
0.1×v2 (KI) = 10×0.11(KIO3)
v = 20 cm3
Question 6.
Calculate the cone of hypo (Na2S2O3 5H2O) solution in g dm-3 if 10.0 of this solution decolorized 15 ml of M/40 iodine solution.
Answer:
The balanced equation for the redox reaction is
2S2O32- + I2 → 2I– + S4O62-
from the balanced equation, it is evident that
2 moles of Na2S2O3 = 1 mole of I2
Applying the molarity equation we have,
Thus, the molarity of the hypo solution = 3/40 M
mol. mass of Na2S2O3.5H2O = 248 g mol-1
cone, of Na2S2O3.5H2O = 248×340
= 18.6 gdm-3
Question 7.
How many millimoles of potassium dichromate is required to oxidize 24 cm3 of 0.5 M mohr’s salt solution in an acidic medium.
Answer:
No. of millimoles of K2Cr2O7 present in 24 cm3 of 0.5 m solution = 24 × 0.5 = 12
The balanced chemical equation for the redox reaction is
K2Cr2O7 + 6(NH4)2SO4.FeSO4.6H2O + 7H2SO4 → K2SO4 + 6(NH4)2SO4 + 3Fe2(SO4)3 + Cr2(SO4)3 + 43H2O from the balanced equations.
6 moles mohr’s salt are oxidised by K2Cr2O7 = 1 moles
∴ 12 millimoles of mohr’s salt will be oxidised by
K2Cr2O7 = 16 × 12 = 2 millimoies.
Question 8.
2.48 gm of Na2S2O3.xH2O was dissolved per liter of the solution. 20 cm3 of this solution required 10 cm3 of 0.01 M iodine solution. Find out the value of x?
Answer:
The balanced equation for the redox reaction is
2Na2S2O3 + I2 → Na2S4O6 + 2NaI
Let the molarity of Na2S2O3 .xH2O solution = M1.
Applying molarity equation to the above redox reaction, we have
M1×202(Na2S2O3) = 10×.011(I2)
∴ M1 = 0.01 M
mol wt. of Na2S2O3.xH2O
= 2 × 23 + 2 × 32 + 3 × 16 + x × 18
= 158 + 18x
Amount of Na2S2O3.xH2O present per litre
= (158 + 18x) × 0.01 g
But the actual amount dissolved = 2.48 g. equating these values, we have
(158 + 18x) × 0.01 = 2.48
or
x = 5.
Question 9.
The half cell reactions with their oxidation potentials are:
Pb(s) → Pb2+(aq) + 2e–, E°oxi = + 0.13 v.
Ag(s) → Ag+(aq) + e–, E°oxi = – 0.80 v.
Write the cell reaction and calculate its EMF.
Answer:
The equations are as
Pb2+(aq) + 2e– → Pb(s), E°oxi = – 0.13 v
Ag+(aq) + e– → Ag(s), (E° = + 0.80 v) …(2)
To obtain the equation for the cell reaction, multiply equation (2) by 2 and subtract equation (1) from it we get
Pb(s) + 2Ag+(aq) → Pb2+(aq) + 2Ag(s)
E°cell = + 0.80 – ( – 0.13) = + 0.93 v
Question 10.
Predict whether zinc or silver reacts with 1 M H2SO4 to give out hydrogen or not. Given that the standard potential of zinc & silver are – 0.76 v & + 0.80 v respectively.
Answer:
(a) To predict the reaction of zinc with H2SO4 If Zn reacts, the following reactions should take place.
Zn + H2SO4 → ZnSO4 + H2
i.e. Zn + 2H+ → Zn2+ + H2
By conventions, the cell will be represented as-
Zn / Zn2+ ∥ H+ / H2
standard EMF of the cell,
E°cell = E°H+/H2 – E°zn2+/zn
= 0 – (- 0.76) = + 0.76 v
Thus the EMF of the cells comes out to be positive. Hence the reaction takes place.
(b) To predict the reaction, of silver with H2SO4.
If Ag reacts, the following reactions should take place.
2Ag + H2SO4 → Ag2SO4 + H2
2Ag + 2H+ → 2Ag+ + H2
By convention, the cell may be written as
Ag / Ag+ ∥ H+ / H2
E°cell = E°H+,H2 – E°Ag+,Ag
= 0 – 0.80 = – 0.80 v.
The EMF of the cell is negative
Hence, this reaction does not take place.
