    An alkaline manganese cell is often preferred to the less expensive zinccarbon cell because it has a much longer service life / higher charge capacity. The silver oxide cell is commonly used in electronic or electrical devices which need a small-sized cell with a steady voltage.

    (a) (i) Zn(s) + 2OH(aq) ZnO(s) + H2O(l) + 2e 2MnO2(s) + H2O(l) + 2e Mn2O3(s) + 2OH(aq) (ii) Zn(s) + 2MnO2(s) ZnO(s) + Mn2O3(s) (b) (i) Electrode A is the cathode. MnO2 (O.N. of Mn = +4) is reduced to Mn2O3 (O.N. of Mn = +3). Reduction occurs at the cathode. (ii) Electrode B is the anode. Zn (O.N. of Zn = 0) is oxidized to ZnO (O.N. of Zn = +2). Oxidation occurs at the anode. (c) The alkaline manganese cell is often preferred to the less expensive zinccarbon cell because the alkaline manganese cell has a much longer service life/higher charge capacity. (d) The silver oxide cell is commonly used in electronic or electrical devices which need a small-sized cell with a steady voltage.

    18. (a) To lower the melting point so that energy and cost for heating up the ore can be saved. (b) Ca2+ is a weaker oxidizing agent than Al3+, so Al3+ is preferentially discharged. Besides, F is a weaker reducing agent than O2, so O2 is preferentially discharged. Therefore, calcium fluoride added does not affect the result of the electrolysis. (c) Al3+(l) + 3e Al(l) (d) 2O2(l) O2(g) + 4e (e) Aluminium is too high in the reactivity series to be reduced by other reducing agents like carbon. (f) At 850C, the carbon electrode burns in the oxygen formed at the anode to give carbon dioxide. 20. (a) The lead plate coated with lead(IV) oxide is the cathode because the lead(IV) oxide is reduced to lead(II) sulphate (oxidation number of Pb decreases from +4 to +2). The lead plate is the anode because lead is oxidized to lead(II) sulphate (oxidation number of Pb increases from 0 to +2). (b) The lead plate coated with lead(IV) oxide is the positive electrode as it takes in electrons for reduction to take place. The lead plate is the negative electrode as it gives out electrons for oxidation to take place. (c) Pb(s) + PbO2(s) + 4H+(aq) + 2SO42(aq) 2PbSO4(s) + 2H2O(l) (d) The car battery is a secondary cell because the overall cell reaction (as shown above) is reversible. It can be reversed by applying an external voltage across the electrodes. Then the battery can be recharged. (e) The car battery has a voltage of 12 V. This is achieved by combining six cells in series. (f) (1) Wear gloves and goggles. (2) Beware of acid burns by sulphuric acid. (3) Beware of electric shock. The car battery can produce a large current and may cause electric sparks and heat burns if short-circuited. (Any TWO)
