Explanation

In an electrochemical cell, reduction occurs at the cathode (positive electrode), where electrons are gained by the oxidized species, causing it to be reduced.

Meanwhile, oxidation occurs at the anode (negative electrode), where electrons are lost by the reduced species, causing it to be oxidized.

Explanation

The equivalent weight of an element is the mass of the element that reacts with one mole of electrons (or one mole of hydrogen atoms).

For aluminum (Al), the equivalent weight is 9 g.

Atomic weight of Al = 27 g/mol

Valency of Al = 3 (since Al forms Al3+ ions)

Equivalent weight = Atomic weight / Valency

= 27 g/mol / 3

= 9 g

So, 1 g equivalent weight of Al is 9 g!

Explanation

In a dry cell, Carbon rod (often with Cu connection) acts as the cathode.

While Zinc container serves as the anode.

Explanation

Aluminum (Al) is a metal that can easily lose electrons to form ions, making it a reducing agent.

As a reducing agent, aluminum can donate electrons to other substances, causing them to be reduced.

Explanation

Chlorine (Cl2) is a strong oxidizing agent, which means it can accept electrons from other substances and cause them to be oxidized.

Chlorine is a powerful oxidizer and is often used as a disinfectant or bleach.

Explanation

Urea is a non-electrolyte, meaning it does not dissociate into ions in aqueous solution.

It does not conduct electricity.

Explanation

One Faraday (F) is equal to 96,500 Coulombs (C).

The Faraday is a unit of electric charge.

It represents the amount of charge required to deposit one mole of electrons (6.022 x 10^23 electrons) at an electrode.

Explanation

Steel is an alloy of iron (Fe) and carbon (C), with small amounts of other elements like manganese, chromium, and vanadium.

It's a mixture of two or more elements, where at least one is a metal, making it an alloy.

Explanation

• An alloy of Cu - Sn is called Bell metal.
• Bell metal is a specific type of bronze with a higher tin content, commonly used for making bells.

Explanation

• In a suspension, the particle size is typically larger than 10 nm (nanometers) in diameter.
• Suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures where the particles of the solute (solid, liquid, or gas) are dispersed in a solvent (liquid, gas, or solid) and are visible to the naked eye or under a microscope.
