SHE acts as anode when connected with Cu electrode but act as cathode with Zn electrode, which one is correct?
Correct answer: D. All the above are correct
- A. Zn has less reduction potential than hydrogen and Cu more
- B. Zn has high oxidizing potential than hydrogen and Cu more
- C. Zn is above in electrochemical series than hydrogen and Cu below
- D. All the above are correct
Explanation
In ECS , Cu has less reduction potential than hydrogen and Zinc. Zn is above in ECS and Cu is below.

About Electrochemistry
Electrochemistry describes electron transfer through oxidation and reduction, identifies oxidizing and reducing agents, and applies oxidation numbers to balance redox equations. It also covers electrode potential and the standard hydrogen electrode, which provides the reference for comparing the reduction tendencies of other electrodes.
