To understand basic electrochemistry thermochemistry

Task 1: Buffer solutions are highly useful in various biological and industrial applications. Discuss application of suitable buffer solution used in 2 industries.

Task 2: Hess's Law of Constant Heat Summation states that regardless of the multiple stages or steps of a reaction, the total enthalpy change for the reaction is the sum of all changes. Discuss 2 cases where Hess's law can be applied to calculate enthalpies of reactions that are difficult to measure directly.

Task 3: Electroplating is the process of plating one metal onto another by hydrolysis, most commonly for decorative purposes or to prevent corrosion of a metal. Explain complete process of electroplating by taking a suitable example from electroplating industry.
