Chemistry-Standard Electrode Potential
NEET Chemistry Standard Electrode Potential Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 11
Assertion (A): A negative standard electrode potential (E⁰) indicates that a redox couple is a stronger reducing agent than the hydrogen electrode. | Reason (R): The standard electrode potential for the hydrogen electrode is set at 0.00 volts by convention.
A
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true, but R is false.
D
A is false.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
A negative E⁰ value implies that the species prefers to lose electrons more readily than hydrogen, making it a stronger reducing agent. The hydrogen electrode potential is set as 0.00 V, serving as a reference.
