A

Electrode of half-cell potential ` -0.76 V` serve as cathode

B

Electrode of half-cell potential `-0 .76 V` serve as anode

C

Electrode of half-cell potential ` -0.76 V` serve as anode

D

Delctrode of half-cell potential `-0.76 V` see as positive electrode and ` -`0.13 V` as negative electrode

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The electrode with more negative reduction potuction potential constitutes the anode.
