# Question Ans
21.

A chemical reaction which the hydration energy is greater than the lattice energy is referred to as

A. a spontaneous reaction

B. an endothermic reaction

C. an exothermic reaction

D. a reversible reaction

Detailed Solution

When the hydration energy is greater than the lattice energy, then it is exothermic.
There is an explanation video available below.
22.

The function of zinc electrode in a galvanic cells is that it

A. undergoes reduction

B. serves as the positive electrode

C. production of electons

D. uses up electrons

Detailed Solution

If an external electrical conductor connects the copper and zinc electrodes, zinc from the zinc electrode dissolves into the solution as Zn2+ ions (oxidation), releasing electrons that enter the external conductor.
