MCQ
A standard hydrogen electrode has zero electrode potential because
- AHydrogen atom has only one $e^-$
- BHydrogen is the lightest element.
- ✓Electrode potential is assumed to be zero.
- DHydrogen is easy to oxidise.
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
Electrode potential is assumed to be zero.
c
Hydrogen is used as standard electrode and other electrodes potential is measured w.r.t. to hydrogen so potential of hydrogen is assumed to zero for standard measurements.
Hydrogen is used as standard electrode and other electrodes potential is measured w.r.t. to hydrogen so potential of hydrogen is assumed to zero for standard measurements.
