Give true $(T)$ and false $(F)$ for following statements :
$(1)$ There is no difference between the galvanic and the electrolytic cell.
$(2)$ In electrolytic cell,anode of galvanic cell is cathode and cathodes are anode.
$(3)$ The flow of current and electron in electrolytic cell is opposite to the galvanic cell.
$(4)$ When $2.0 \ V$ external current in the opposite direction is passed through the Daniell cell,in such condition there is no effect on Daniell cell.

(F, T, T, F) $(1)$ False $(F)$: Galvanic cells convert chemical energy to electrical energy,while electrolytic cells convert electrical energy to chemical energy.
$(2)$ True $(T)$: In an electrolytic cell,the polarity is reversed compared to a galvanic cell; the electrode connected to the positive terminal is the anode,and the one connected to the negative terminal is the cathode.
$(3)$ True $(T)$: In a galvanic cell,electrons flow from anode to cathode,whereas in an electrolytic cell,an external power source forces electrons to flow in the opposite direction.
$(4)$ False $(F)$: The standard potential of a Daniell cell is $1.1 \ V$. If an external voltage of $2.0 \ V$ (which is greater than $1.1 \ V$) is applied,the cell reaction reverses,and the cell acts as an electrolytic cell.

Why is an external $emf$ of more than $2.2 \ V$ required for the extraction of $Cl_2$ from brine?

Assertion : For the Daniel cell,$Zn|Zn^{2+} || Cu^{2+}|Cu$ with $E_{cell} = 1.1 \ V$,the application of an opposite potential greater than $1.1 \ V$ results in the flow of electrons from cathode to anode.
Reason : $Zn$ is deposited at the anode,and $Cu$ is deposited at the cathode.

Derive the relation between the dissociation constant $K_a$ and the limiting molar conductivity $\Lambda_m^o$ for a solution of a weak electrolyte.
