Question

Assertion :When an electric current is passed through an aqueous solution of sodium chloride, sodium ions move towards cathode and chloride ions move towards anode. Reason: Cathode is a negatively charged electrode and therefore attracts $N A + i o n s$ . Anode is a positively charged electrode and therefore attracts $C l -$ ions

Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion

Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
When an electric current is passed through an aqueous solution of sodium chloride, sodium ions move towards the cathode and chloride ions move towards the anode.The cathode is a negatively charged electrode and therefore attracts $N a^{+}$ ions, Anode is a positively charged electrode and therefore attracts $C l^{-}$ ions.

Q. Assertion: If

λ_{N a^{+}}^{\circ} + λ_{C l^{-}}^{\circ}

are molar limiting conductivity of the sodium and chloride ions respectively, then the limiting molar conducting for sodium chloride is given by the equation:

λ_{N a C l}^{\circ} = λ_{N a^{+}}^{\circ} + λ_{C l^{-}}^{\circ}

Reason:This is according to Kohlrausch law of independent migration of ions.
