During the electrolysis of carnallite,$MgCl_2$ is decomposed and not $KCl$. This is because of

  • A
    lower decomposition voltage of $MgCl_2$ than that of $KCl$
  • B
    reverse reaction $MgCl_2 + 2K \to Mg + 2KCl$ if $KCl$ is decomposed under other experimental conditions
  • C
    both $(A)$ and $(B)$
  • D
    none of the above

In a fuel cell,methanol is used as fuel and oxygen gas is used as an oxidizer. The reaction is
$CH_3OH_{(l)} + \frac{3}{2} O_{2(g)} \rightarrow CO_{2(g)} + 2H_2O_{(l)}$
At $298 \ K$,standard Gibbs energies of formation for $CH_3OH_{(l)}$,$H_2O_{(l)}$,and $CO_{2(g)}$ are $-166.2$,$-237.2$,and $-394.4 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$ respectively. If the standard enthalpy of combustion of methanol is $-726 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$,the efficiency of the fuel cell will be .......... $\%$.

For a spontaneous reaction,determine the values of $\Delta G^o$,equilibrium constant $K$,and $E^o_{cell}$ respectively.

Consider the following redox reaction :
