Correct answer: D
- Identify the half-cells
The cell is:
This consists of:
- Left electrode: hydrogen electrode
- Right electrode: silver-silver chloride electrode
So,
Given:
and concentration of HCl is molal, so for this dilute solution we take
- Potential of hydrogen electrode
For the hydrogen electrode reaction
Nernst equation:
Since and bar,
So,
- Potential of AgCl/Ag electrode
The electrode reaction is
For this electrode,
Since ,
- Use cell potential
Now,
- Final answer
Therefore, the standard electrode potential of the electrode is
So the correct option is D.
