Q61 / 180 · AIIMS 2017 · Chemistry
Assertion : If standard reduction potential for the reaction $\mathrm{Ag}^{+}+e^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{Ag}$ is 0.80 volt, then for the reaction $2 \mathrm{Ag}^{+}+2 e^{-} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Ag}$, it will be 1.60 volt.
Reason: If concentration of $\mathrm{Ag}^{+}$ions is doubled, the standard electrode potential is also doubled.
- 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.
- Correct answerDIf both assertion and reason are false.
Solution
Standard reduction potential of an electrode has a fixed value.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
