The strength of solution of an element whose electrode potential is to be measured is________________?

Correct answer: D. 1M

  • A. 2M
  • B. 1N
  • C. 1m
  • D. 1M

Explanation

Standard electrode potentials are measured under standard conditions, including a dissolved ionic concentration of 1 M. The symbol 1m represents molality, not the usual standard concentration convention used here. The likely wrong choice is 1N, because normality is not the standard unit specified for electrode potentials.

About Standard Hydrogen Electrode

The standard hydrogen electrode provides the reference potential of 0.00 V for measuring electrode potentials. It consists of platinum in contact with hydrogen gas at standard pressure and hydrogen ions at standard concentration, usually at 25°C, and can operate as either the oxidation or reduction half-cell.
