Assertion : If standard reduction potential for the reaction, $Ag^{+} + e^{-} ⟶ Ag$ is 0.80 volts then for the reaction, $3 Ag^{+} + 3 e^{-} ⟶ 3 Ag$ it will be 2.4 volts.
Reason : If concentration is increased, reduction electrode potential is increased.

Question

Assertion : If standard reduction potential for the reaction, $Ag^{+} + e^{-} ⟶ Ag$ is 0.80 volts then for the reaction, $3 Ag^{+} + 3 e^{-} ⟶ 3 Ag$ it will be 2.4 volts.

Reason : If concentration is increased, reduction electrode potential is increased.

TestHub · Accepted Answer

Assertion is false because electrode potential is an intensive property, independent of stoichiometric coefficients. Reason is true (Nernst equation).
