Question

Which of the following factor(s) affect the electrode potential?

• A. Composition of the reaction mixtures
• B. Concentration of ions in the half cells
• C. Temperature
• D. All of the above.

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above.

Electrode potential is the potential difference developed between an electrode and an electrolyte in a solution.
Its S.I unit is volt.

It is the driving force that pushes the electrons away from the anode and pulls them towards the cathode.

Factor affecting electrode potential:

1. Temperature
2. Composition of the reaction mixtures
3. Concentration of the solute
4. The partial pressure of the gas
