The reduction potential of hydrogen half-cell will be negative if : (1) PH2 = 2 atm and [H+] = 2.0 M (2) PH2 = 1 atm and [H+] = 2.0 M (3) PH2 = 1 atm and [H+] = 1.0 M (4) PH2 = 2 atm and [H+] = 1.0 M

Correct Answer: Option 4

Explanation:

  H + - e - 1 2 H 2    


Apply Nernst equation  


 


E = 0 - 0 . 059 1 log P H 2 1 2 H +   


 


  E = - 0 . 059 1 log 2 1 2 1   


 


Therefore E is Negative
