The order is different from that in the reactivity series. This is because, when compared with sodium, a calcium atom loses electrons more readily in cell reactions whereas in reactions with air, water and dilute acids it loses electrons less readily. 7 T A copper-silver chemical cell is shown below: In the copper-silver chemical cell, copper atoms lose electrons and form copper(ii) ions. These ions then go into the copper(ii) sulphate solution. 156
7 Cu(s) Cu 2+ (aq) + 2e Electrons given up by copper atoms flow along the conducting wires to the silver strip. Copper(II) ions in the copper(ii) sulphate solution near to the silver strip gain these electrons and form copper atoms. As a result, a deposit of copper forms on the silver strip. Cu 2+ (aq) + 2e Cu(s) Copper is transferred from the copper strip to the silver strip. The concentration of copper(ii) ions in the electrolyte remains the same. The blue colour of the solution remains unchanged. 8 F A salt bridge can be prepared by soaking a piece of filter paper in an ionic salt solution. 9 T Sugar solution does NOT conduct electricity. Hence sugar solution CANNOT be used to prepare salt bridges. 10 F In a Daniell cell, electrons flow from the zinc strip to the copper container in the external circuit, i.e. a current flows from the copper container to the zinc strip. Multiple choice questions 11 A Zinc forms ions more readily than copper does. Hence zinc atoms would lose electrons and form zinc ions. Zn(s) Zn 2+ (aq) + 2e The zinc strip is the negative electrode. Copper(II) ions in the electrolyte near to the copper strip gain electrons and form copper atoms. Cu 2+ (aq) + 2e Cu(s) The copper strip is the positive electrode. 12 B Options A & C Pure water and ethanol are non-conductors. Option B Zinc and copper are farther apart in the electrochemical series than lead and copper. Hence the zinc-copper couple gives the highest voltage, making the light bulb the brightest. 13 C Option C The position of magnesium in the electrochemical series is the highest. Hence magnesium loses electrons to form ions most readily. 14 D Option D Electrons move from the zinc strip to the copper strip in the external circuit. 157
8 15 A In the above chemical cell, electrons flow from the strip of metal X to the copper strip in the external circuit. It can be deduced that metal X forms ions more readily than copper does. Option A The copper strip is the positive electrode and the strip made of metal X is the negative electrode. Option B At the copper strip, hydrogen ions in the acid gain electrons and form hydrogen gas. 2H + (aq) + 2e H 2 (g) Option C Atoms of metal X lose electrons and form ions. As a result, the mass of the strip of metal X decreases. Option D Metal X is at a higher position in the electrochemical series than copper. 16 D Magnesium forms ions more readily than zinc. Magnesium and copper are farther apart in the electrochemical series than zinc and copper. Therefore the voltage of the cell would increase if the zinc strip is replaced by a magnesium strip. 17 C Option A In the above chemical cell, electrons flow from the metal X rod to the iron rod in the external circuit. It can be deduced that metal X forms ions more readily than iron does. Option B Atoms of metal X lose electrons and form ions. As a result, the metal X rod dissolves gradually. Option C The iron rod is the positive electrode, i.e. the cathode. 18 D For the first two chemical cells, metal W is the positive electrode while metals X and Y are the negative electrodes. Therefore metals X and Y form ions more readily than metal W. 158 The Y / W couple gives a higher voltage than the X / W couple. Therefore the difference in the tendency to form ions between metal Y and metal W is greater than that between metal X and metal W. Hence metal Y forms ions most readily.
9 For the third chemical cell, the voltmeter gives a negative voltage. Therefore metal W is the negative electrode while metal Z is the positive electrode. Metal W forms ions more readily than metal Z. This gives the descending order of reactivity of the four metals: Y, X, W, Z. 19 D For a simple chemical cell, the farther apart the two metals are in the electrochemical series (or the reactivity series), the higher is the voltage of the cell. 20 C From the cell of the Mn / Fe couple, it can be deduced that Mn forms ions more readily than Fe. From the cells of the Fe / Ag couple and Fe / Cu couple, it can be deduced that Fe forms ions more readily than Ag and Cu. The Fe / Ag couple gives a higher voltage than the Fe / Cu couple. Therefore the difference in the tendency to form ions between Fe and Ag is greater than that between Fe and Cu. Hence Ag forms ions least readily. This gives the descending order of the tendency to form ions for the four metals: Mn, Fe, Cu, Ag. 21 D Option Metal X Direction of electron flow in the external circuit A copper from zinc to copper B iron from zinc to iron C magnesium from magnesium to zinc D silver from zinc to silver 22 A X displaces Z from Z(NO 3 ) 2 solution. Hence X is more reactive than Z and forms ions more readily. The following chemical cell uses X and Z as electrodes. Option A Atoms of metal X lose electrons and form ions. Electrons flow from X to Z in the external circuit. Options C and D Atoms of metal X lose electrons and form ions. As a result, the strip made of X dissolves gradually and its mass decreases. 159
10 23 A Nickel is more reactive than silver. Hence nickel forms ions more readily than silver does. In the above chemical cell, nickel atoms lose electrons and form nickel(ii) ions. Ni(s) Ni 2+ (aq) + 2e Electrons given up by nickel atoms flow along the conducting wires to the silver rod. Nickel(II) ions in the solution near to the silver rod gain these electrons and form nickel atoms. As a result, a deposit of nickel forms on the silver rod. Ni 2+ (aq) + 2e Ni(s) Hence the mass of the silver rod (i.e. the cathode) increases. Nickel was transferred from the nickel rod to the silver rod. The concentration of nickel(ii) ions in the electrolyte remains the same. The colour intensity of the solution would not change. 24 B The order of reactivity of the metals is: Q > T > R > S Q and S are the furthest apart in the electrochemical series. Hence the Q / S couple would give the highest voltage. 25 C Option C The zinc plate reacts with the dilute sulphuric acid. Hence colourless gas bubbles appear at the surface of the zinc plate. 26 B When the circuit is closed, electrons flow from the zinc plate to the copper plate in the external circuit. Zinc atoms lose electrons and form ions. As a result, the mass of the zinc plate (i.e. the anode) decreases. Zinc ions are colourless. Hence these is NO change in the colour of the dilute sulphuric acid. 160
11 27 A Nickel is more reactive than silver. Hence nickel forms ions more readily than silver does. In the above chemical cell, electrons flow from the nickel rod to the silver rod in the external circuit. Nickel is the negative electrode (i.e. the anode) of the chemical cell.

Mg(s) Mg 2+ (aq) + 2e 29 D Option D Magnesium atoms lose electrons and form magnesium ions. As a result, the mass of the magnesium electrode decreases. Electrons given up by magnesium atoms flow along the conducting wires to the copper electrode. Copper(II) ions in the copper(ii) sulphate solution near to the copper electrode gain these electrons and form copper atoms. As a result, a deposit of copper forms on the copper electrode. Cu 2+ (aq) + 2e Cu(s) Hence the mass of the copper electrode increases. 30 B 161

Iron is the negative electrode of the chemical cell. Iron atoms lose electrons and form iron ions. Fe(s) Fe 2+ (aq) + 2e 33 B Nickel is more reactive than silver. Hence nickel forms ions more readily than silver does. In the chemical cell, nickel atoms lose electrons and form nickel(ii) ions. Electrons given up by nickel atoms flow along the conducting wires to the silver electrode. Silver ions in the silver nitrate solution near to the silver electrode gain these electrons and form silver atoms. Ag + (aq) + e Ag(s) The silver electrode is the positive electrode, i.e. the cathode. 34 D Option A 162 Electrons flow from the nickel electrode to the silver electrode in the external circuit.
13 Options B and D Nickel atoms lose electrons and form nickel(ii) ions. Ni(s) Ni 2+ (aq) + 2e NO bubbles of gas are given off from the nickel electrode. The concentration of nickel(ii) ions in the nickel(ii) nitrate solution increases. Hence the green colour of the solution becomes more intense. Option C Silver ions in the silver nitrate solution near to the silver electrode gain electrons and form silver atoms. Hence the concentration of silver ions in the solution decreases. 35 B Option Combination X Y Z Direction of electron flow in the external circuit A magnesium copper magnesium sulphate solution from X to Y B carbon magnesium magnesium sulphate solution from Y to X, as shown in the diagram C copper silver silver nitrate solution from X to Y D magnesium carbon silver nitrate solution from X to Y 36 C Electrons flow from X to Y in the external circuit. It can be deduced that X forms ions more readily than Y does. Options A and C In the above chemical cell, atoms of X lose electrons and form ions. These ions then go into the X(NO 3 ) 2 solution. Hence the strip made of X gradually dissolves. The strip made of X is the negative electrode, i.e. the anode. Option B In the electrochemical series, the position of X is higher than that of Y. Options A and D Electrons given up by atoms of X flow along the conducting wires to the strip made of Y. Y 2+ ions in the Y(NO 3 ) 2 solution near to the strip made of Y gain these electrons and form atoms. As a result, a deposit of Y forms on the strip. Y 2+ (aq) + 2e Y(s) 163
14 37 C The above chemical cell is made up of copper electrodes and copper(ii) sulphate solution of different concentrations.

Zn(s) Zn 2+ (aq) + 2e Option D Electrons flow from the zinc strip to the cobalt strip in the external circuit. Hence the cobalt strip is the positive electrode (i.e. the cathode) of the chemical cell. Electrons given up by zinc atoms flow along the conducting wires to the cobalt electrode. Cobalt(II) ions in the solution near to the cobalt electrode gain these electrons and form cobalt atoms. Co 2+ (aq) + 2e Co(s) 40 A (2) Electrons flow in the external circuit, NOT in the salt bridge. (3) The salt bridge provides ions that can move into the half-cells to prevent the build-up of excess positively or negatively charged ions in the solutions. 41 C Option C Cations (i.e. positive ions) move from the nickel half-cell to the palladium half-cell. It can be deduced that nickel atoms lose electrons and form nickel(ii) ions. Ni(s) Ni 2+ (aq) + 2e Hence the nickel electrode is the negative electrode, i.e. the anode. 165
16 42 A (1) The palladium electrode is the positive electrode, i.e. the cathode.

Option B The zinc strip is the negative electrode, i.e. the anode. Option D The copper container is the positive electrode. The copper(ii) ions in the copper(ii) sulphate solution gain electrons from the external circuit to form copper metal. Cu 2+ (aq) + 2e Cu(s) The concentration of copper(ii) ions in the solution decreases. Hence the blue colour of the copper(ii) sulphate solution becomes less intense. 44 B (2) The porous pot is different from a salt bridge. It does NOT provide ions to balance excess charges in the solutions of the cell. 45 A (1) and (3) In the copper-silver chemical cell, copper atoms lose electrons and form copper(ii) ions. These ions then go into the silver nitrate solution. Cu(s) Cu 2+ (aq) + 2e Hence the mass of the copper electrode decreases. The colour of the silver nitrate solution would change as the blue copper(ii) ions go into the solution. (2) Electrons given up by copper atoms flow along the conducting wires to the silver electrode. Silver ions in the solution near to the silver electrode gain these electrons and form silver atoms. As a result, a deposit of silver forms on the silver electrode. Hence the mass of the silver electrode increases. 46 B Electrons flow from the electrode made of metal X to the copper electrode in the external circuit.

It can be deduced that Y forms ions more readily than X does. 166
17 (1) In the above chemical cell, atoms of Y lose electrons and form ions. These ions then go into Y(NO 3 ) 2 (aq). Hence the strip made of Y gradually dissolves. Electrons given up by atoms of Y flow along the conducting wires to the strip made of X. X 2+ (aq) ions in X(NO 3 ) 2 (aq) near to the strip made of X gain these electrons and form atoms. As a result, a deposit of X forms on the strip. Hence the strip made of X does NOT dissolve. (2) Negative ions, i.e. anions, in the salt bridge migrate towards the strip made of Y. (3) Y is more reactive than X. Hence Y can displace X from X(NO 3 ) 2 solution. 48 D When nickel is placed in a zinc sulphate solution, no reaction occurs. It can be deduced that zinc is more reactive than nickel, i.e. zinc forms ions more readily than nickel does. (1) and (3) Electrons flow from the zinc electrode to the nickel electrode in the external circuit. The zinc electrode is the negative electrode, i.e. the anode.

(3) The following chemical cell uses X and Y as electrodes. Atoms of X lose electrons and form ions. Electrons flow from X to Y in the external circuit. Hence X is the negative electrode. 50 A (1) Copper forms ions more readily than silver does. Hence electrons flow from the copper electrode to the silver electrode in the external circuit. The copper electrode is the negative electrode, i.e. the anode. (2) A porous pot is different from a salt bridge. It does NOT provide ions to balance excess charges in the solutions of the cell. (3) The porous pot CANNOT be replaced by a glass cylinder. A glass cylinder does NOT allow ions to move between the two solutions. 51 D Iron forms ions more readily than copper does. In a chemical cell with a copper-iron couple, the copper is the positive electrode. 52 C The position of calcium is higher than that of sodium in the electrochemical series. Calcium atom loses electrons more readily in cell reactions than in reactions with air, water and dilute acids. 53 A The position of nickel in the electrochemical series is higher than that of silver. 168
19 54 C A copper-silver chemical cell is shown below: In the copper-silver chemical cell, copper atoms lose electrons and form copper(ii) ions. These ions then go into the copper(ii) sulphate solution. Cu(s) Cu 2+ (aq) + 2e Electrons given up by copper atoms flow along the conducting wires to the silver strip. Copper(II) ions in the copper(ii) sulphate solution near to the silver strip gain these electrons and form copper atoms. As a result, a deposit of copper forms on the silver strip. Cu 2+ (aq) + 2e Cu(s) Copper is transferred from the copper strip to the silver strip. The concentration of copper(ii) ions in the electrolyte remains the same. The blue colour of the solution remains unchanged. 55 D In a copper-zinc chemical cell using dilute sulphuric acid as the electrolyte, the zinc atoms lose electrons to form zinc ions.

21 True or false 16 F Not all chemical reactions are redox reactions. For example, neutralization reactions are not redox reactions. 17 T 18 T The position of potassium in the electrochemical series is higher than that of sodium. 19 F Dilute nitric acid is an oxidizing agent. It will compete with the potassium permanganate solution for the reducing agent in reactions. Hence it is NOT used to acidify potassium permanganate solution. Usually dilute sulphuric acid is used to acidify potassium permanganate solution. 20 T The ionic half-equation for the reduction of acidified potassium dichromate solution is Cr 2 O 7 2 (aq) + 14H + (aq) + 6e 2Cr 3+ (aq) + 7H 2 O(l) The oxidation of chromium in the Cr 2 O 7 2 ion is +6 while that in the Cr 3+ ion is +3. Hence the oxidation number of chromium changes from +6 to T Acidified potassium permanganate solution is a strong oxidizing agent. When it reacts with iron(ii) sulphate solution, the permanganate ions will be reduced to manganese(ii) ions. The permanganate solution turns from purple to colourless while the iron(ii) sulphate solution changes from pale green to yellow-brown. On the other hand, there is NO observable change when acidified potassium permanganate solution is mixed with iron(iii) sulphate solution. Hence acidified potassium permanganate solution can be used to distinguish between iron(ii) sulphate solution and iron(iii) sulphate solution. 22 F In the reaction between aqueous chlorine and potassium iodide solution, chlorine is reduced to chloride ions while iodide ions are oxidized to iodine. The resulting reaction mixture is brown in colour due to the presence of iodine. Cl 2 (aq) + 2e 2Cl (aq) 2l (aq) I 2 (aq) + 2e 23 F Both aqueous chlorine and acidified potassium permanganate solution are oxidizing agents. There is NO reaction between them. 24 T 25 T When aqueous bromine is mixed with sodium sulphite solution, the yellow-brown aqueous bromine becomes colourless. This is because the yellow-brown bromine is reduced to colourless bromide ions. On the other hand, there is NO observable change when aqueous bromine is mixed with sodium sulphate solution. Hence aqueous bromine can be used to distinguish between sodium sulphate solution and sodium sulphite solution. 171
22 26 F Magnesium reacts with dilute nitric acid to give nitrogen monoxide. 3Mg(s) + 2NO 3 (aq) + 8H + (aq) 3Mg 2+ (aq) + 2NO(g) + 4H 2 O(l) 27 T The equation for the reaction between zinc and concentrated nitric acid is: Zn(s) + 2NO 3 (aq) + 4H + (aq) Zn 2+ (aq) + 2NO 2 (g) + 2H 2 O(l) The oxidation number of nitrogen in the NO 3 ion is +5 while that in NO 2 is +4. Hence the oxidation number of nitrogen changes from +5 to F Nitrogen monoxide gas is colourless. When this gas is exposed to air, it reacts with oxygen in the air to give brown nitrogen dioxide gas. 2NO(g) + O 2 (g) colourless 2NO 2 (g) brown 29 F Concentrated sulphuric acid liberates steamy fumes of hydrogen chloride when it reacts with sodium chloride. NaCl(s) + H 2 SO 4 (l) NaHSO 4 (s) + HCl(g) Hydrogen chloride is a weak reducing agent. It is NOT oxidized by concentrated sulphuric acid. Hence NO chlorine (halogen) is produced in the reaction. 30 T Aqueous sulphur dioxide is a good reducing agent. NO reaction occurs when sulphur dioxide gas is bubbled into potassium iodide solution. Multiple choice questions 31 D Suppose the oxidation number of Cl in HClO 4 is x.
