Electrode potential of hydrogen electrode is , then is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
Given :
Applying Nernst equation,
18 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~V}=0+0.0591 \log \left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]
18 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~V}=0.0591 \log \left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]
\log \left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]=0.3046
\therefore \quad\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]=\operatorname{antilog}(0.3046)=2.02=2.0
