Chemical reactions involve the interaction of atoms and molecules. $A$ large number of atoms/molecules (approximately $6.023 \times 10^{23}$) are present in a few grams of any chemical compound,varying with their atomic/molecular masses. To handle such large numbers conveniently,the mole concept was introduced. This concept has implications in diverse areas such as analytical chemistry,biochemistry,electrochemistry,and radiochemistry. The following example illustrates a typical case involving a chemical/electrochemical reaction,which requires a clear understanding of the mole concept. $A$ $4.0 \ M$ aqueous solution of $NaCl$ is prepared and $500 \ mL$ of this solution is electrolysed. This leads to the evolution of chlorine gas at one of the electrodes (atomic mass: $Na=23, Hg=200; 1 \ F = 96500 \ C$).
$1.$ The total number of moles of chlorine gas evolved is:
$(A)$ $0.5$ $(B)$ $1.0$ $(C)$ $2.0$ $(D)$ $3.0$
$2.$ If the cathode is a $Hg$ electrode,the maximum weight $(g)$ of amalgam formed from this solution is:
$(A)$ $200$ $(B)$ $225$ $(C)$ $400$ $(D)$ $446$
$3.$ The total charge (coulombs) required for complete electrolysis is:
$(A)$ $24125$ $(B)$ $48250$ $(C)$ $96500$ $(D)$ $193000$

Efficiency of the following cell is $84\%$. $A_{(s)} + B^{2+}(aq.) \rightleftharpoons A^{2+}(aq.) + B_{(s)}$; $\Delta H^o = -285 \ kJ$. Then the standard $EMF$ of the cell will be ........... $V$.

The electrochemical cell shown below is a concentration cell.
$M \mid M^{2+} (\text{saturated solution of a sparingly soluble salt, } MX_2) \mid M^{2+} (0.001 \ mol \ dm^{-3}) \mid M$
The emf of the cell depends on the difference in concentration of $M^{2+}$ ions at the two electrodes. The emf of the cell at $298 \ K$ is $0.059 \ V$.
$1.$ The solubility product $(K_{sp}; \ mol^3 \ dm^{-9})$ of $MX_2$ at $298 \ K$ based on the information available for the given concentration cell is (take $2.303 \times R \times 298 / F = 0.059 \ V$):
$(A) \ 1 \times 10^{-15} \quad (B) \ 4 \times 10^{-15}$
$(C) \ 1 \times 10^{-12} \quad (D) \ 4 \times 10^{-12}$
$2.$ The value of $\Delta G \ (kJ \ mol^{-1})$ for the given cell is (take $1 \ F = 96500 \ C \ mol^{-1}$):
$(A) \ -5.7 \quad (B) \ 5.7 \quad (C) \ 11.4 \quad (D) \ -11.4$
