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.
