On the basis of the information available from the reaction, 4/3 Al + O2 2/3 Al2O3, G = -827 kJ mol-1 of O2, the minimum e.m.f. required to carry out an electrolysis of Al2O3 is ( F = 96500 C mol-1)

1. 2.14 V
2. 4.28 V
3. 6.42 V
4. 8.56 V

In electrolysis of NaCl when Pt electrode is taken then H2 is liberated at cathode while with Hg cathode it forms sodium amalgam because

1. Hg is more inert than Pt
2. more voltage is required to reduce H+ at Hg than at Pt
3. Na is dissolved in Hg while it does not dissolve in Pt
4. concentration of H+ ions is larger when Pt electrode is taken

Standard electrode potentials are Fe2+/Fe [ E = -0.44 V] and Fe3+/Fe2+ [ E = 0.77 V]; If Fe2+, Fe3+ and Fe blocks are kept together, then

1. Fe3+ increases
2. Fe3+ decreases
3. Fe2+/Fe3+ remains unchanged
4. Fe2+ decreases.

2. is positive
3. E red is positive
4. E red is negative

Ionic conductances of Ba2+ and Cl- ions at infinite dilution are 127 and 76 ohm-1 cm2 mol-1 respectively. Equivalent conductance of BaCl2 at infinite dilution is
