Solutions $A$,$B$,and $C$ of the same strong electrolyte offered resistances of $50 \ \Omega$,$100 \ \Omega$,and $150 \ \Omega$ in a given conductivity cell. The resistance observed if they are mixed in a volume proportion which is the reciprocal of their resistances and tested in the same conductivity cell would be ............. $\Omega$.

The rusting of iron takes place as follows. Calculate $\Delta G^o$ for the net process in $kJ \ mol^{-1}$.
$2H^{+} + 2e^- + \frac{1}{2}O_2 \longrightarrow H_2O_{(l)} ; E^o = +1.23 \ V$
$Fe^{2+} + 2e^- \longrightarrow Fe_{(s)} ; E^o = -0.44 \ V$

Consider the following redox reaction :
$MnO_4^{-} + H^{+} + H_2C_2O_4 \rightleftharpoons Mn^{2+} + H_2O + CO_2$
The standard reduction potentials are given as below $(E_{red}^{\circ})$ :
$E_{MnO_4^{-} / Mn^{2+}}^{\circ} = +1.51 \ V$
$E_{CO_2 / H_2C_2O_4}^{\circ} = -0.49 \ V$
If the equilibrium constant of the above reaction is given as $K_{eq} = 10^x$,then the value of $x = $ . . . . . . (nearest integer).

Which one of the following statements is correct?

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 .......... $\%$.

Consider a $70 \%$ efficient hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell working under standard conditions at $1 \ bar$ and $298 \ K$. Its cell reaction is
$H_{2(g)} + \frac{1}{2} O_{2(g)} \rightarrow H_2O(\ell)$
The work derived from the cell on the consumption of $1.0 \times 10^{-3} \ mol$ of $H_{2(g)}$ is used to compress $1.00 \ mol$ of a monoatomic ideal gas in a thermally insulated container. What is the change in the temperature (in $K$) of the ideal gas?
The standard reduction potentials for the two half-cells are given below.
$O_{2(g)} + 4H^{+}(aq.) + 4e^- \rightarrow 2H_2O(\ell), E^{\circ} = 1.23 \ V$
$2H^{+}(aq.) + 2e^- \rightarrow H_{2(g)}, E^{\circ} = 0.00 \ V$
