Redox reactions play a pivotal role in chemistry and biology. The values of standard redox potential $(E^{\circ})$ of two half-cell reactions decide which way the reaction is expected to proceed. $A$ simple example is a Daniel cell in which zinc goes into solution and copper gets deposited.

Chemical reactions involve the interaction of atoms and molecules. $A$ large number of atoms/molecules (approximately $6.023 \times 10^{23}$) are present in a few grams of any chemical compound,varying with their atomic/molecular masses. To handle such large numbers conveniently,the mole concept was introduced. This concept has implications in diverse areas such as analytical chemistry,biochemistry,electrochemistry,and radiochemistry. The following example illustrates a typical case involving a chemical/electrochemical reaction,which requires a clear understanding of the mole concept. $A$ $4.0 \ M$ aqueous solution of $NaCl$ is prepared and $500 \ mL$ of this solution is electrolysed. This leads to the evolution of chlorine gas at one of the electrodes (atomic mass: $Na=23, Hg=200; 1 \ F = 96500 \ C$).

$(A)$ $0.5$ $(B)$ $1.0$ $(C)$ $2.0$ $(D)$ $3.0$

$(A)$ $200$ $(B)$ $225$ $(C)$ $400$ $(D)$ $446$
$3.$ The total charge (coulombs) required for complete electrolysis is:
$(A)$ $24125$ $(B)$ $48250$ $(C)$ $96500$ $(D)$ $193000$
