Embibe Experts Solutions for Chapter: Electrochemistry and Chemical Kinetics, Exercise 1: Exercise

Why is anode called oxidation electrode, whereas cathode is called reduction electrode ? 

How is a galvanic cell represented on paper as per IUPAC convention? Give one example.

What are galvanic cells? Explain the working of a galvanic cell with a neat sketch taking Daniel cell as example.

What are the products obtained at cathode and the anode during the electrolysis of the following when platinum electrodes are used in the electrolysis?

Aqueous ${\mathrm{CuSO}}_4$ solution

What are the products obtained at cathode and the anode during the electrolysis of the following when platinum electrodes are used in the electrolysis?

Aqueous ${\mathrm{K}}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_4$ solution

Give the chemical equation that represents the reduction of liquid water ${\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\left(\mathrm{l}\right)$ at the platinum anode.

The rate law for a reaction of $\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B}$ and $\mathrm{C}$ has been found to be $\mathrm{rate}=\mathrm{k} \left[\mathrm{A}{]}^2\right[\mathrm{B}\left]\right[\mathrm{C}{]}^{3/2}$. How would the rate of reaction change when concentration of both $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{B}$ are doubled?

Mention a reaction for which the exponents of concentration terms are not the same as their stoichiometric coefficients in the rate equation.
