For the following reaction, which is correct statement \(2 H ^{+}( aq )+2 e^{-} \rightarrow H _2(g)\)
under non-standard conditions.

  1. A Ecell becomes more negative with an increase in partial pressure of \(H _2\) and \([ H +]\) ions.
  2. B Ecell becomes more positive with increase in partial pressure of \(H _2\) and \([ H +]\) ions.
  3. C Ecell becomes more negative with increase in partial pressure of \(H _2\) and decrease in \([ H +]\) ions.
  4. D Ecell becomes more positive with increase in partial pressure of \(H _2\) and decrease in \([ H +]\) ions.

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Ecell becomes more negative with increase in partial pressure of \(H _2\) and decrease in \([ H +]\) ions.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The Nernst equation for the reaction is: \(E = E^0 - \frac{RT}{2F} \ln \left( \frac{P_{H_2}}{[H^+]^2} \right)\) An increase in \(P_{H_2}\) increases the \(\ln Q\) term, making \(E\) more negative. A decrease in \([H^+]\) increases the \(\ln Q\) term (due to \([H^+]^2\) in the…
