Question

Assertion :The standard reduction potential for $A{g}^{+}+e^{-}\to Ag$ is half that of $2A{g}^{+}+2e^{-}\to 2Ag$ Reason: Standard potential is dependent on the number of electrons transferred

• A. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
• B. Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
• C. Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
• D. Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect

Assertion
The standard reduction potential for
$A{g}^{+}+e^{-}\to Ag$
is equal to that of
$2A{g}^{+}+2e^{-}\to 2Ag$
Reason
Standard potential is independent of the number of electrons transferred.
Hence, both Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
