Statement (S) The alkali metals can form ionic hydrides which contain the hydride ion H^-.
Explanation (E) The alkali metals have low electronegativity; their hydrides conduct electricity when fused and liberate hydrogen at the anode.

The IUPAC name of succinic acid is _______.

The standard reduction potential of the Ag⁺/Ag electrode at 298 K is 0.799V. Given that for AgI, K_sp = 8.7 $$\times$$ 10^-17, evaluate the potential of the Ag⁺/Ag electrode in a saturated solution of AgI. Also calculate the standard reduction potential of the I^-/ AgI/Ag electrode.

The Edison storage cells is represented as
Fe(s) | FeO(s) | KOH (aq) | Ni₂O₃(s) | Ni(s)
The half-cell reactions are:
Ni₂O₃ + H₂O (l) + 2e^- $$\leftrightharpoons$$ 2NiO(s) + 2OH^-; E^o = +0.40V
FeO(s) + H₂O(l) + 2e^- $$\leftrightharpoons$$ Fe(s) + 2OH^-; E^o = -0.87V
(i) What is the cell reaction?
(ii) What is the cell e.m.f? How does it depend on the concentration of KOH?
(iii) What is the maximum amount of electrical energy that can be obtained from one mole of Ni₂O₃?
