(a) Why on dilution the of increases very fast, while that of increases gradually?
(b) What happens if external potential applied becomes greater than to be in subscript of electrochemical cell?
(b) What happens if external potential applied becomes greater than to be in subscript of electrochemical cell?
Solution:
(i) On dilution of increases very fast because it is a weak electrolyte and the number of ions also increases due to increase in the degree of dissociation (less than 1). However,in which is a strong electrolyte, the number of ions remains same but the intermolecular forces of attraction decreases and the degree of dissociation is equal to 1 . Thus, increases gradually in case of .
(ii) If the external potential applied become greater than cell of electrochemical cell, then the reaction gets reversed and the electrochemical cell acts as an electrolytic cell and vice-versa.
