NEET Chemistry Electrolytic Cells MCQ Question
Which of the following combinations about standard electrode potentials and cell reactions is correct?
A higher standard electrode potential indicates a stronger tendency for reduction.
A negative standard electrode potential means the species is more stable than hydrogen gas.
The standard electrode potential of fluorine is lower than that of hydrogen.
Standard electrode potentials can provide insights into the stability of half-cell reactions.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
A higher standard electrode potential indeed indicates a stronger tendency for the species to be reduced, as reflected in the context. Option B is incorrect because a negative standard potential indicates that hydrogen gas is more stable than the reduced form. Option C is false since fluorine has the highest standard electrode potential, indicating its strong tendency to be reduced. Option D is true but does not highlight a unique aspect compared to option A.
