NEET Chemistry Conductance MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

Which of the following combinations correctly describes the relationship between standard electrode potential and the stability of species?

A

If the standard electrode potential is positive, the reduced form is more stable than hydrogen gas.

B

A negative standard electrode potential indicates that the reduced form is more stable than its oxidized form.

C

Standard electrode potentials can help determine the equilibrium constant of a reaction.

D

If the standard electrode potential of an electrode is zero, the species has equal stability to hydrogen gas.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

A positive standard electrode potential indicates that the reduced form is more stable compared to hydrogen gas, while a negative value suggests the opposite. This aligns with the information about standard electrode potentials given in the NCERT context.
