The reduction potential of hydrogen half...

The reduction potential of hydrogen half cell will be negative if :

A

`p(H_(2))=1" atm and" [H^(+)]=2.0 M`

B

`p(H_(2))=1" atm and" [H^(+)]=1.0 M`

C

`p(H_(2))=2" atm and" [H^(+)]=1.0 M`

D

`p(H_(2))=2" atm and" [H^(+)]=2.0 M`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
(c ) `2H_((aq))^(+)+2e^(-) to H_(2)(g)``E_((red))=E_((red))^(@)(0.0591)/(n)"log"(pH_(2))/([H^(+)]^(2))`
`=0-(0.0591)/(2)"log"(pH_(2))/([H^(+)]^(2))`
`E_(ceel)` will be negative when `pH_(2) gt [H^(+)]`.
