The reduction potential of hydrogen electrode at 25 ° C in a neutral solution is P H 2 = 1  atm

The reduction potential of hydrogen electrode at 25°C in a neutral solution is PH2=1 atm
  1. 0.059 V
  2. -0.059 V
  3. -0.413 V
  4. 0.00 V

Solution

Reduction potential of hydrogen electrode can be calculated Using Nernst equation for 2H++2e-H2

Ered=Ered0-0.059nlogpH2H+2

For  a neutral solution H+ ion concentration is 10-7 as pH=7

EH+|H20=0-0.05912log110-72            =0-0.05912log1014            =-0.0591×142log10              =-0.413V
