Question

Assertion: The absolute value of standard electrode potential can be determined experimentally.

Reason: Standard electrode potentials are measured using a hydrogen half-cell reference electrode whose potential is known.

• A. Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
  
• B. Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
  
• C. Assertion is true but Reason is false
• D. Assertion is false but Reason is true
• E. Both Assertion and Reason are false

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Assertion is false but Reason is true

Standard electrode potentials are relative value. Reference is hydrogen half cell whose standard potential is taken to be zero at 298 K.
