It's obvious that this reaction is not a redox reaction…And that's why the oxidation state of the CHROMIUM doesn't change…If it was about te chromate then the oxidation state will also be -2 in both cases…THE PH OF the mixture increases since excess alkali is added…
Thanks mahn..

NOV 08 PAPER 1 QUESTION 13
You should already know that the electrolysis of any aquesous solution (except Copper) doesn't produce the metal at the cathode.Instead,hydrogen gas is produced.Since the question stated that it is extracted by electrolysis,therefor the only two available are molten sodium bromide and molten lead bromide.Since,it is low in the reactivity series then it is obviously lead.
salvatore Anytime :)

Hi ok my doubt is june 2004 question 30.

The answer is C.

I don't understand how the answer is obtained as we are not told what they're seperating.... pls can u explain this to me? Thanks a lot ;)

Also, what is the distillate? Is it water?

Also the same paper question 36. The answer is D. How and why lol ;/ Thanks

Q: 30 - The Ph of the solution left in the flask is alkali , so eventually it will have a high pH . COMPARED to the distillate which is on the other side it is higher . And you know that the only way to Separate The Na from NAOH is by electrolysis . So it seems we are separating the water . So it will be lower . According to my way of thinking .... still you could have another point of view.
Q-36 When you decompose any carbonate you get a metal oxide and carbon dioxide . So here ... Calcium carbonate is decomposed to calcium oxide and carbon dioxide .
