Which statement is correct?

A

In SHE, the pressure of dihydrogen gas should be low and pH of solution should be zero.

B

in the reaction `H_(2)O_(2)+O_(3)to2H_(2)O+2O_(2),H_(2)O_(2)` is oxidised to `H_(2)O`.

The absolute value of electrode potential cannot be determined.

D

According to IUPAC conventions, the standard electrode potential pertains to oxidation reactions only.

The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is correct, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the First Statement **Statement:** In standard hydrogen electrode, the pressure of dihydrogen gas should be low and pH of solution should be zero. **Analysis:** - The standard hydrogen electrode (SHE) operates at a pressure of 1 atm for dihydrogen gas (H2), not low pressure. - The pH of the solution in SHE is typically 0 when the concentration of H+ ions is 1 M. However, this is not a requirement for all conditions. - Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. ### Step 2: Analyze the Second Statement **Statement:** In the reaction H2O2 + O3 → 2 H2O + 2 O2, H2O2 is oxidized to water. **Analysis:** - In this reaction, H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) is converted to H2O (water). - To determine if H2O2 is oxidized or reduced, we need to check the oxidation states: - In H2O2, the oxidation state of oxygen is -1. - In H2O, the oxidation state of oxygen is -2. - Since the oxidation state of oxygen decreases from -1 to -2, H2O2 is being reduced, not oxidized. - Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. ### Step 3: Analyze the Third Statement **Statement:** The absolute value of electrode potential can't be determined. **Analysis:** - The absolute value of electrode potential cannot be measured directly; it is determined relative to the standard hydrogen electrode. - Thus, this statement is **correct**. ### Step 4: Analyze the Fourth Statement **Statement:** According to IUPAC convention, the standard electrode potential pertains to oxidation reactions only. **Analysis:** - The standard electrode potential can pertain to both oxidation and reduction reactions. - Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. ### Conclusion After analyzing all statements, the correct answer is: **C: The absolute value of electrode potential can't be determined.** ---
