NEET Chemistry Standard Electrode Potential MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about standard electrode potential are correct?
A positive standard electrode potential indicates a stronger tendency for reduction.
The standard electrode potential of the hydrogen electrode is defined as 1.00 volts.
Standard electrode potentials can be used to predict the spontaneity of redox reactions.
A higher value of standard electrode potential corresponds to a weaker oxidizing agent.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Statement A is correct as a positive E° signifies a strong tendency to gain electrons and be reduced. Statement B is incorrect; the standard electrode potential for hydrogen is defined as 0.00 volts. Statement C is true but not completely stated in the options, while statement D contradicts the definition of a stronger oxidizing agent.
