On heating one end of a piece of a metal, the other end becomes hot because of resistance of the metal mobility of atoms in the metal energised electrons moving to the other end minor perturbation in the energy of atoms 6.

151 20. The most convenient method to protect the bottom of ship made of iron is Coating it with red lead oxide White tin plating Connecting it with Mg block Connecting it with Pb block 21. In the silver plating of copper, K[Ag(CN) 2] is used instead of AgNO3. The reason is Athin layer of Ag is formed on Cu More voltage is required Ag + ions are completely removed from solution Less availability of Ag + ions, as Cu cannot displace Ag from [Ag(CN) 2] ion 25. 8.56 V 2.14 V 4.28 V 6.42 V 26. 22. Which reaction is not feasible? 23. In electrolysis of NaCl when Pt electrode is taken then H2 is liberated at cathode while with Hg cathode it forms sodium amalgam. This is because Hg is more inert than Pt More voltage is required to reduce H + at Hg than at Pt Na is dissolved in Hg while it does not dissolve in Pt Conc. of H + ions is larger when Pt electrode is taken 24. 27. 4.5 g of aluminium (at. mass 27 amu) is deposited at cathode from Al 3+ solution by a certain quantity of electric charge.
