Oxidation half reaction: Zn → Zn^2+^ + 2e^-^ ii. Reduction half reaction: Cu^2+^ + 2e^-^ → Cu - The oxidation reaction in the zinc rod releases two electrons. - These two electrons are taken by the Copper ion in the copper sulphate solution. - If these two half reactions can be separated, then the electrons can be made to move through a wire. - In this manner we can produce electrical energy from chemical energy. - The salt bridge is a concentrated solution of inert electrolytes. - It is required for completing the circuit.

(a) State the purpose of heat treatment.\ Answer: Heat treatment process is carried out for the following purpose.\ 1. To relieve internal stresses, which are set up in the metal due to cold or hot working.\ 2. To soften the metal.\ 3. To improve hardness of the metal surface.\ 4. To improve machinability.\ 5.

To increase resistance to wear, tear, heat and corrosion. **\ ** 9\. (b) Discuss Annealing and hardening heat treatment processes.\ Answer: (i) **Annealing process:** Annealing is a process of heating the steel to a temperature near or above the critical temperature and holding at that temperature for a certain suitable period and then cooling it slowly in the furnace itself. The important purpose of annealing process is to make steel soft. Annealing process is classified into two types namely full annealing and process annealing. **Full annealing:** This process consists of heating the steel, 300 c to 500 c above the upper critical temperature for hypoeutectoid steel and by the same temperature above the lower critical temperature for hypereutectoid steels. The steel is then held at this temperature for some time to enable the internal changes to take place. The time allowed is approximately 3 to 4 minutes for each millimetre of thickness of the largest section, and then slowly cooled in the furnace. The rate of cooling varies from 300c to 200c per hour, depending upon the composition of steel.\ **Process Annealing:** In this process the steel is heated to a temperature below or close to the lower critical temperature, held at this temperature for some time and then cooled slowly.\ (ii) **Hardening process:** Hardening is a process of heating the steel up to a temperature of 300 c to 500 c above the upper critical temperature for the hypoeutectoid steels and by the same temperature above the lower critical point for hypereutectoid steels. The steel is held at this temperature for a considerable time and then quenching in a suitable medium. The quenching medium may be water, brine solution, mineral oils and cool air. This rapid cooling causes the steel surface very hard and brittle. The process of hardening is of four types. Working hardening, Age hardening, Air hardening and Hardening by heating and quenching. 9\. (c) Differentiate between Carburising and Nitriding heat treatment processes. 10\. (a) List the different types of corrosion.\ Answer: The main types of corrosion are as follows\ (i) Direct chemical corrosion (Dry corrosion)\ (ii) Electro-chemical corrosion (Wet corrosion)\ Various types of corrosion are:\ Uniform corrosion\ Pitting corrosion\ Intergranular corrosion\ Stress corrosion\ Crevice corrosion\ Season corrosion\ Fatigue corrosion\ Atmospheric corrosion\ Erosion corrosion\ Underground corrosion\ Fretting corrosion\ Selective corrosion\ \ 10. (b) With neat sketch explain Electroplating process.\ Answer: ![](media/image12.png) It is a process of depositing a very thin layer of metal coating, on the base metal by passing a direct current through an electrolytic solution containing some salt of the coating metal. Above figure illustrates a electroplating process here, the component of base metal is made to act as a cathode whereas the coating metal is an anode in a solution containing some salt of the coating metal i.e. electrolyte. A DC current is supplied to the anode that oxidizes the base metal atoms and dissolves them into the solution. The dissolved ions of base metal are deposited at the cathode and plated. The commonly used coating materials are copper, nickel, gold, chromium and tungsten 10\. (c) What are electrolytes? And mention different types of electrolytes.\ Answer: **Electrolytes:** An electrolyte is a substance that dissociates in water into charged particles called ions. Positively charged ions are called cations. Negatively charged ions are called anions. Simply, an electrolyte is a substance that can conduct an electric current when melted or dissolved in water. Ex: Acids, Bases and Salts are electrolyte.\ **Types of electrolytes:**\ (i)**Strong electrolyte:** The electrolytes that are almost completely disassociated into ions in solution are called strong electrolytes.\ Ex: NaCl (Sodium chloride), KCl (Potassium Chloride), HCl (Hydro chloric acid), NaOH (Sodium hydroxide), etc.\ (ii)Weak electrolyte: The electrolytes which do not completely disassociated into ions in solution are called weak electrolytes. Hence it is a poor conductor of electricity\ Ex: H2CO3 (Carbonic acid), H3PO4 (Phosphoric acid), NH3 (Ammonia), etc.
