Solution

The correct option is A 1014 atm
Cell reaction :-
2H+(aq)+2eH2(g)
Concentration of [H+] in pure water =107
According to nearest equation :-
E=E00.05912logPH2[H+]2
E=00.05912logPH2[107]2
E=00.05912logPH21014 ...... For potential to be zero PH2=1014 atm
E=00.05912log10141014
E=00.05912log1
E=0
