Brine is electrolysed by using inert electrodes. The reaction at anode is _________ .
A
$$Cl_{\left( {aq} \right)}^ - \to \frac{1}{2}C{l_{2\left( g \right)}} + {e^ - };E_{{\text{cell}}}^ \circ = 1.36\,V$$
B
$$2{H_2}{O_{\left( l \right)}} \to {O_{2\left( g \right)}} + 4{H^ + } + 4{e^ - };$$ $$E_{{\text{cell}}}^ \circ = 1.23\,V$$
C
$$Na_{\left( {aq} \right)}^ + + {e^ - } \to N{a_{\left( s \right)}};E_{{\text{cell}}}^ \circ = 2.71\,V$$
D
$$H_{\left( {aq} \right)}^ + + {e^ - } \to \frac{1}{2}{H_{2\left( g \right)}};E_{{\text{cell}}}^ \circ = 0.00\,V$$
Although reduction potential of $$C{l^ - }$$ ion is higher than that of $${H_2}O,$$ yet oxidation of $$C{l^ - }$$ ions occurs in preference to $${H_2}O$$ due to overvoltage of $${O_2}$$ ( i.e., water needs greater voltage for oxidation to $${O_2}$$ as it is a kinetically slow process ).
33.
$$XC{l_2}{\text{(excess)}} + YC{l_2} \to $$ $$XC{l_4} + Y \downarrow ;$$ \[YO\xrightarrow[>{{400}^{\circ }}]{\Delta }\frac{1}{2}{{O}_{2}}+Y,\] Ore of $$Y$$ would be :
A
ore is heated above its melting point to expel $${H_2}O$$ or $$C{O_2}$$ or $$S{O_2}$$
B
ore is heated below its melting point to expel volatile impurities
C
ore is heated above its melting point to remove $$S, As$$ and $$Sb$$ as $$S{O_2},A{s_2}{O_3}$$ and $$S{b_2}{O_3}$$ respectively
D
ore is heated below its melting point to expel $${H_2}O$$ or $$C{O_2}$$
Answer :
ore is heated below its melting point to expel $${H_2}O$$ or $$C{O_2}$$
Calcination is a process of heating a substance to a high temperature but below the melting or fusion point, causing loss of moisture, reduction or oxidation and dissociation into simpler substances.
