Give appropriate scientific reasons for each of the following statements. (i) Electrolysis of molten lead bromide is considered to be a redox reaction.(ii) Although copper is a good conductor of electricity it is a non-electrolyte.(iii) Electrical conductivity of acetic acid is less in comparison to that of dil. Sulphuric acid.

Answer»

rolysis of molten lead bromide is considered to be a redox REACTION. During electrolysis of molten lead bromide lead gets oxidised and BROMINE gets reduced. Thus both oxidation and reduction occur simultaneously. So it is a redox reaction.2 Copper is good conductor of electricity but is considered to benon-electrolyte. Ans. Copper being a metal CONTAINS free electrons and conduction of electricity is carried out by the movement of free electrons, but copper does not dissociate into ions and hence, is anon-electrolyte.3 ACETIC acid is a weak acid and has fewer number ions so conductivity isless whereas DILUTE Sulphuric acid is a strong acid has more number of ions and therefore its electrical conductivity is more. Electrolysis of molten lead bromide is considered to be a redox reaction.hope it helps you
