(a) Calculate the mass of Ag deposited at cathode when a current of 2 amperes was passed through a solution of AgNO₃ for 15 minutes.
(Given : Molar mass of Ag = 108 g mol ⁻¹
1F = 96500 C mol⁻¹)
(b) Define fuel cell.

A 10% solution (by mass) of sucrose in water has freezing point of 269.15 K. Calculate the freezing point of 10% glucose in water, if freezing point of pure water is 273.15 K.
Given : (Molar mass of sucrose = 342 g mol⁻¹ )
(Molar mass of glucose = 180 g mol⁻¹ )

After watching a programme on TV about the presence of carcinogens(cancer causing agents) Potassium bromate and Potassium iodate in bread and other bakery products, Ritu a class XII student decided to aware others about the adverse effects of these carcinogens in foods. She consulted the school principal and requested him to instruct canteen contractor to stop selling sandwiches, pizza, burgers and other bakery products to the students. Principal took an immediate action and instructed the canteen contractor to replace the bakery products with some proteins and vitamins rich food like fruits, salads, sprouts etc. The decision was welcomed by the parents and students.
