MCQ (Multiple Correct Answer)

For the given cell, $\mathrm{Mg}\left|\mathrm{Mg}^{2+} \| \mathrm{Cu}^{2+}\right| \mathrm{Cu}$

A
Mg is cathode
B
Cu is cathode
C

D
Cu is the oxidising agent
28
Subjective

Can absolute electrode potential of an electrode be measured?

Explanation

No, only the difference in potential between two electrodes can be measured. This is due to the reason that oxidation or reduction cannot occur alone. So, when we measure electrode potential of any electrode we have to take a reference electrode.

29
Subjective

Can $E_{\text {cell }}^{\circ}$ or $\Delta_{\mathrm{r}} \mathrm{G}^{\circ}$ for cell reaction ever be equal to zero ?

Explanation

No, otherwise the reaction become non-feasible.

The reaction is feasible only at $E_{\text {cell }}^{\circ}=$ positive or $\Delta_r G^{\circ}=$ negative .

when $E^{\circ}=\Delta_r G^{\circ}=0$ the reaction reaches at equilibrium.

30
Subjective

Under what condition is $E_{\text {cell }}=0$ or $\Delta_r G=0$ ?

Explanation

At the stage of chemical equilibrium in the cell.

$$\begin{aligned} E_{\text {cell }} & =0 \\ \Delta_r G^{\circ} & =-n F E_{\text {cell }}^{\circ} \\ & =-n \times F \times 0=0 \end{aligned}$$
