NEET2017ChemistryElectrochemistryActual
Assertion : If standard reduction potential for the reaction Ag ⁺+e⁻ Ag is 0.80 volt, then for the reaction 2 Ag ⁺+2 e⁻ 2 Ag , it will be 1.60 volt. Reason: If concentration of Ag ⁺ ions is doubled, the standard electrode potential is also doubled.
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false.
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
D. If both assertion and reason are false.
Step-by-step solution
Standard reduction potential of an electrode has a fixed value.
