NEET Chemistry Standard Electrode Potential MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about standard electrode potential is correct?
A negative standard electrode potential indicates a stronger oxidizing agent.
The standard electrode potential of hydrogen is the highest among all elements.
Standard electrode potentials are measured at 298 K and 1 M concentration.
Higher standard electrode potential values imply a greater tendency to be oxidized.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Standard electrode potentials are indeed measured at 298 K and in standard conditions, including 1 M concentration. The negative standard electrode potential indicates a stronger reducing agent, while option A is incorrect as it implies the opposite. Option B is false as hydrogen is set at 0.00 V, not the highest. Option D misinterprets the tendencies associated with the potential values.
