NEET Chemistry Standard Electrode Potential Assertion Reason Question
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.
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true, but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
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.
