Question

Which of the following is true regarding the electrode potential?

• A. It is the potential difference developed between the two ends of a salt bridge in a solution.
• B. It is the potential difference developed between an electrode and an electrolyte in a solution.
• C. It is the potential difference developed between electrolyte and salt bridge in a solution.
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B It is the potential difference developed between an electrode and an electrolyte in a solution.

Electrode Potential:
The potential difference developed between an electrode and an electrolyte in a solution.
It is driving force that pushes the electrons away from the anode and pulls them towards the cathode.
