What is the quantity of charge, in Faraday units, required for the reduction of 3.5 moles of $$\mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O} 7^{2-}$$ in acid medium?
A dry cell consists of a moist paste of $$\mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{Cl}$$ and $$\mathrm{ZnCl}_2$$ contained in a $$\mathrm{Zn}$$ casing which encloses a Carbon rod surrounded by black $$\mathrm{MnO}_2$$ paste. What is the role of $$\mathrm{ZnCl}_2$$ in it?
Compounds $$\mathrm{A}$$ and $$\mathrm{B}$$, having the same molecular formula $$(\mathrm{C}_4 \mathrm{H}_8 \mathrm{O})$$, react separately with $$\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{MgBr}$$, followed by reaction with dil. $$\mathrm{HCl}$$ to form compounds $$\mathrm{X}$$ and $$\mathrm{Y}$$ respectively. Compound $$\mathrm{Y}$$ undergoes acidic dehydration in presence of Conc. $$\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4$$ much more readily than $$\mathrm{X}$$. Compound $$\mathrm{Y}$$ also reacts with Lucas reagent, much more readily than $$\mathrm{X}$$, with appearance of turbidity. Identify $$\mathrm{X}$$ and $$\mathrm{Y}$$.
