Detailed Solution

(a)

EMF of the cell is positive reaction is product favoring.

Ecell=Ecathode°-Eanode°

=1.51-(0.15)=1.36 v .Spontaneous and product favored.

(b)λM=κ×1000M

κ=λM×M1000=138.9×1.51000=208.35×10-3 S/cm

(c)G=-nFE0=-2×96500×1.1 J =212.3 kJ

OR

i) When a concentration of an electrolyte approaches zero, then its molar conductivity is known as limiting molar conductivity.

(ii) Fuel cells are the galvanic cells in which the energy of combustion of the fuels likes hydrogen, methanol. etc is directly convert into electrical energy.

(B) Given that:

Concentration of the KCl solution = 0.1 mol L−1

Resistance of cell filled with 0.1 mol L−1 KCl solution = 100 ohm

Cell constant  = G* = conductivity × resistance

1.29×10−2ohm−1cm−1×100ohm=1.29cm−1=129m−1

Cell constant for a particular conductivity cell is constant.

Conductivity of 0.02 mol L−1 KCl solution = Cell constant G*/ Resistance R=129m−1 /520ohm​=0.248Sm−1

Concentration = 0.02mol l−1

=1000×0.02molm−3=20molm−3

Now,

Molar conductivity m​=k​ /c=248×10−3Sm−1​/ 20molm−3=124×10−4Sm2mol−1

Therefore the molar conductivity of 0.02 molL−1KCl solution is 124×10−4Sm2mol−1
