What does the negative sign in the expression E ⊖ (Zn 2+ /Zn) = − 0.76 V mean?

Options

  1. AIt means that H is more reactive than zinc. When the zinc electrode will be connected to Standard Hydrogen Ele
  2. BIt means that Zn and H will both get reduced when connected to the standard hydrogen electrode.
  3. CIt means that Zn is more reactive than hydrogen. When the zinc electrode will be connected to Standard Hydroge
  4. DThe negative sign has no significance.

Correct answer

C. It means that Zn is more reactive than hydrogen. When the zinc electrode will be connected to Standard Hydroge

Step-by-step solution

Correct Option is : (C) It means that Zn is more reactive than hydrogen. When the zinc electrode will be connected to Standard Hydrogen Electrode , Zn will get oxidized and H + will get reduced.
