The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given electrode processes and their standard reduction potentials. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Reaction and Its Standard Potential:** The first reaction is given as: \[ H^+ + e^- \rightarrow \frac{1}{2} H_2 \] The standard reduction potential for this reaction is given as \( E(H^+, H_2) = x \) volts. 2. **Understand the Relationship Between Reactions and Their Potentials:** The second reaction we need to consider is: \[ 2H^+ + 2e^- \rightarrow H_2 \] This reaction is essentially the first reaction multiplied by 2. 3. **Apply the Concept of Standard Reduction Potentials:** It is important to note that when a half-reaction is multiplied by a coefficient, the standard reduction potential (\( E^\circ \)) does not change. This is because the standard reduction potential is an intensive property, meaning it does not depend on the amount of substance involved. 4. **Conclude the Standard Potential for the Second Reaction:** Since we have multiplied the first reaction by 2, the standard reduction potential for the second reaction remains the same: \[ E(2H^+, H_2) = x \text{ volts} \] ### Final Answer: Thus, the standard reduction potential for the reaction \( 2H^+ + 2e^- \rightarrow H_2 \) is equal to \( x \) volts. ---
