E=E∘−n0.0592logQ(25°C)
E∘=n0.0592logK(at equilibrium, E=0)
ΔG∘=−nFE∘(F=96500 C/mol)
w=nFMIt(Faraday’s law; t in seconds)
Λm=Mκ×1000(S⋅cm2/mol)
Λm∘=ν+λ+∘+ν−λ−∘(Kohlrausch)
α=Λm∘Λm(weak electrolyte dissociation)

Part D: Battery Quick Facts
- Dry cell (Leclanché): 1.5 V, not rechargeable, Zn/MnO2
- Lead storage: 2 V/cell × 6 = 12 V, rechargeable, Pb/PbO2
- Mercury cell: 1.35 V, constant voltage, Zn-Hg/HgO
- Fuel cell (H2-O2): ~70% efficiency, only water by-product, continuous
Part E: Top 5 NEET Traps
- Time in Faraday's law MUST be in seconds (not minutes)
- n for Cu2+ = 2 (not 1); n for Ag+ = 1; n for Al3+ = 3
- Anode is NEGATIVE in galvanic but POSITIVE in electrolytic
- O = −1 in peroxides; O = +2 in OF2 (not −2)
- Weak electrolytes: use Kohlrausch's law for Λ°m (not graph extrapolation)
Part F: Kohlrausch's Law Quick Application
Λm∘(CH3COOH)=Λm∘(CH3COONa)+Λm∘(HCl)−Λm∘(NaCl)
Part G: Corrosion Mechanism
- Fe oxidizes at anode (anodic spots): Fe → Fe2+ + 2e−
- O2 reduces at cathode (cathodic spots): O2 + 2H2O + 4e− → 4OH−
- Rust forms: Fe2+ + 2OH− → Fe(OH)_{2} --[O2]-→ Fe2O3·xH2O
- Prevention: Zn coating (galvanization), Mg blocks (cathodic protection), painting
