NEET Chemistry Nernst Equation Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 12

Assertion (A): The equilibrium constant for a reaction can be determined from the standard cell potential of an electrochemical cell. | Reason (R): The equation D r G o = –RT ln K is used to find the equilibrium constant using the standard Gibbs energy.

A

Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.

B

Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.

C

A is true but R is false.

D

A is false but R is true.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The assertion and reason are both true; the standard Gibbs energy is calculated using the standard cell potential, which then helps in determining the equilibrium constant using the equation D r G o = –RT ln K.
