Correct answer: 4
- We evaluate each statement one by one.
- Statement A: is an intensive parameter.
- Cell potential does not depend on the amount of substance taken.
- Even if the size of the cell is increased, the emf remains the same.
Therefore, is an intensive property.
So, A is correct.
- Statement B: A negative means that the redox couple is a stronger reducing agent than the couple.
- Standard reduction potential is measured relative to the standard hydrogen electrode (SHE), for which
- If a couple has negative standard reduction potential, it has less tendency to be reduced than hydrogen.
- Equivalently, its reduced form has greater tendency to get oxidized, so it behaves as a stronger reducing agent than .
So, B is correct.
- Statement C: The amount of electricity required for oxidation or reduction depends on the stoichiometry of the electrode reaction.
- From Faraday’s law, where = moles of electrons involved.
- The number of electrons required depends directly on the balanced electrode reaction.
- Hence the electricity needed depends on the stoichiometric coefficients of electrons in the electrode process.
So, C is correct.
- Statement D: The amount of chemical reaction which occurs at any electrode during electrolysis by a current is proportional to the quantity of electricity passed through the electrolyte.
- This is exactly Faraday’s first law of electrolysis.
- Mass deposited/liberated or amount of reaction is proportional to total charge passed:
So, D is correct.
- Total number of correct statements
All four statements A, B, C, and D are correct.
Hence, the required integer is
- Comparison with stored correct answer
- Derived answer:
- Stored correct answer:
They match.
