Correct answer: 4

  1. We evaluate each statement one by one.

  1. Statement A: EcellE_{\text{cell}}Ecell​ 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, EcellE_{\text{cell}}Ecell​ is an intensive property.

So, A is correct.


  1. Statement B: A negative E⊖E^{\ominus}E⊖ means that the redox couple is a stronger reducing agent than the H+/H2\mathrm{H^+/H_2}H+/H2​ couple.
  • Standard reduction potential is measured relative to the standard hydrogen electrode (SHE), for which E⊖=0E^\ominus = 0E⊖=0
  • 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 H2\mathrm{H_2}H2​.

So, B is correct.


  1. Statement C: The amount of electricity required for oxidation or reduction depends on the stoichiometry of the electrode reaction.
  • From Faraday’s law, Q=nFQ = nFQ=nF where nnn = 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.


  1. 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: Q=ItQ = ItQ=It

So, D is correct.


  1. Total number of correct statements

All four statements A, B, C, and D are correct.

Hence, the required integer is 4\boxed{4}4​


  1. Comparison with stored correct answer
  • Derived answer: 444
  • Stored correct answer: 444

They match.
