Exercise and reference answers

Questions
  1. Question
    Three of these statements about molar conductivity are false.
    Choices
    1. Item
      It equals κ divided by concentration
      Correct
      Yes
    2. Explanation
      Molar conductivity RISES on dilution.
      Item
      It falls as the solution is diluted
    3. Explanation
      Conductivity is per unit volume, not per mole.
      Item
      It is the same as conductivity
    4. Explanation
      The concentration divides, it does not multiply.
      Item
      It equals κ times concentration
  2. Question
    Three of these statements about cells are false.
    Choices
    1. Item
      Galvanic cells run spontaneous redox
      Correct
      Yes
    2. Explanation
      It consumes electrical energy instead.
      Item
      An electrolytic cell produces energy
    3. Explanation
      It is the source, not the load.
      Item
      A galvanic cell needs a power supply
    4. Explanation
      Only the electrolytic cell does.
      Item
      Both types drive non-spontaneous redox
