Chemistry-Standard Electrode Potential
NEET Chemistry Standard Electrode Potential Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 11
Assertion (A): The standard electrode potential (E°) of the hydrogen electrode is set as 0.00 volts. | Reason (R): A positive E° value indicates a stronger tendency of the redox couple to remain in the oxidized form.
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 C
Detailed Explanation
The standard electrode potential of the hydrogen electrode is defined as 0.00 volts by convention, making Assertion A true. However, a positive E° value indicates a stronger tendency to remain in the reduced form, not the oxidized form, making Reason R false.
