The reduction of O2\mathrm{O}_2 to H2O\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} in acidic solution has a standard reduction potential of 1.23 V . If the pH of the acid solution is increased by one unit, half cell potential will O2( g)+4H+(aq)+4\mathrme−→2H2O(l)\mathrm{O}_2(\mathrm{~g})+4 \mathrm{H}^{+}(\mathrm{aq})+4 \mathrme^{-} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{l})

Options

  1. Adecrease by 59 mV
  2. Bincrease by 59 mV
  3. Cdecrease by 236 mV
  4. Dincrease by 236 mV

Correct answer

A. decrease by 59 mV
