The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given relationships are not correct, we need to analyze each statement based on electrochemical principles. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the analysis: ### Step 1: Analyze the pH of the hydrogen electrode 1. **Standard Hydrogen Electrode (SHE)**: The standard electrode potential (E°) for SHE is defined as 0 V. 2. **Electrode Reaction**: The reaction at the anode involves the oxidation of hydrogen gas (H₂) to protons (H⁺) and electrons (e⁻): \[ H_2 \rightarrow 2H^+ + 2e^- \] 3. **Nernst Equation**: The Nernst equation for the oxidation potential (E°_OP) is given by: \[ E_{OP} = E°_{OP} - \frac{0.0591}{n} \log \frac{[H^+]^2}{1} \] Since E°_OP = 0, it simplifies to: \[ E_{OP} = -\frac{0.0591}{2} \log [H^+]^2 \] 4. **Relating pH and [H⁺]**: The pH is defined as: \[ \text{pH} = -\log[H^+] \] Therefore, the relationship between pH and E can be derived. ### Step 2: Evaluate the relationship for cathode 1. **Using SHE as Cathode**: If SHE acts as a cathode, the potential is considered as: \[ \text{pH} = -\frac{E_{electrode}}{0.0591} \] This indicates that the relationship changes depending on whether SHE is used as an anode or cathode. ### Step 3: Analyze the E_cell relationship 1. **E_cell Equation**: The equation for cell potential is: \[ E_{cell} = E°_{cell} - \frac{0.0591}{n} \log K_C \] At equilibrium, E_cell = 0, leading to: \[ E°_{cell} = \frac{0.0591}{n} \log K_C \] This indicates that the original statement about E_cell being equal to E°_cell is incorrect at equilibrium. ### Step 4: Evaluate the cell constant relationship 1. **Cell Constant Definition**: The cell constant (k) is defined as: \[ k = \frac{L}{A} \] where L is the length of the cell and A is the area. The statement that cell constant equals conductivity times conductance is incorrect. ### Step 5: Analyze the ΔG° relationship 1. **Gibbs Free Energy**: The relationship is given by: \[ \Delta G° = -nFE°_{cell} \] The statement regarding ΔG° does not represent a negative value for E°; hence, it is incorrect. ### Conclusion Based on the analysis, all the relationships presented in the question are incorrect. ### Summary of Incorrect Relationships: 1. The relationship regarding pH and electrode potential for SHE as an anode or cathode. 2. The relationship for E_cell at equilibrium. 3. The relationship for cell constant. 4. The relationship for ΔG°.
