NEET Chemistry Nernst Equation Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The standard electrode potential of Ag+ to Ag(s) is lower than that of MnO4- to Mn2+ in acidic medium.
Reason (R): A higher standard electrode potential indicates a greater tendency to gain electrons.
Both A and R are true, and R explains A.
Both A and R are true, but R does not explain A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false but R is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The standard electrode potential of Ag+ to Ag(s) is 0.80V, which is lower than the 1.51V for MnO4- to Mn2+, indicating a greater tendency for MnO4- to gain electrons. Thus, both A and R are true, and R explains A.
