The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both statements and determine their validity and relationship. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding Statement 1**: - Statement 1 claims that the standard reduction potential of the `M^(n+) / M` electrode increases with an increase in the activity of `M^(n+)` ions. - The standard reduction potential (E°) is influenced by the concentration (or activity) of the ions involved in the half-reaction. 2. **Understanding Statement 2**: - Statement 2 provides the equation for standard reduction potential: \[ E_{RP} = E_{RP}^0 + \frac{0.059}{n} \log [M^{n+}] \] - Here, \(E_{RP}^0\) is the standard reduction potential, \(n\) is the number of electrons involved in the reduction, and \([M^{n+}]\) is the concentration of the ion. 3. **Analyzing the Relationship**: - From the equation in Statement 2, we can see that as the concentration (or activity) of `M^(n+)` increases, the logarithmic term \(\log [M^{n+}]\) becomes larger, which results in an increase in \(E_{RP}\). - This confirms that an increase in the activity of `M^(n+)` leads to an increase in the standard reduction potential. 4. **Conclusion**: - Both statements are true. Statement 1 correctly describes the relationship between the standard reduction potential and the activity of the ion, and Statement 2 provides the correct equation that explains this relationship. - Therefore, Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement 1. ### Final Answer: Both statements are true, and Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement 1.
