Chemistry-Standard Electrode Potential

NEET Chemistry Standard Electrode Potential MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Hard-Class 11

Which of the following statements about standard electrode potential is correct?

A

A higher standard electrode potential indicates a stronger tendency to be reduced.

B

Standard electrode potential values are always positive for all half-reactions.

C

The standard electrode potential for the hydrogen electrode is negative by convention.

D

Standard electrode potential is measured at temperatures other than 298K.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

A higher standard electrode potential indeed indicates a stronger tendency for the species to gain electrons and be reduced, as stated in the context. The standard electrode potential of the hydrogen electrode is defined as 0.00 volts, and potentials can be both positive and negative depending on the reaction.
