The pressure ofH2required to make the potential of hydrogen electrode zero in pure water at 298 K is:NEET 2016 (Phase 1)

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Pt,H2gH+Hydrogen electrodeEH2/H+o=0.0 Volt

H2g→2Haq++2e-

H+=10-7 Mat25oC(for Pure water)

E=-0.05912log⁡H+2PH2

E=0=log⁡H+PH2=0

∴ H + 2 = P H 2 = 10 −7 2

∴PH2=10-14 atm
