NEET Chemistry Standard Electrode Potential MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

Which of the following statements about Standard Electrode Potential is correct?

A

A positive electrode potential indicates a stronger tendency to be reduced.

B

The Standard Electrode Potential of hydrogen is defined as 1.00 volts.

C

A negative Standard Electrode Potential signifies a stronger reducing agent.

D

The values of Standard Electrode Potentials are temperature dependent and vary significantly with temperature changes.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

A positive electrode potential indicates a stronger tendency of the species to be reduced, as mentioned in the NCERT context regarding electrode potential values. The Standard Electrode Potential for hydrogen is defined as 0.00 volts, not 1.00 volts, and a negative potential does suggest a weaker reducing agent. Additionally, the values are measured at a standard temperature of 298K, not varying significantly with temperature changes.
