Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(10^{-14}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(2 \mathrm{e}^{-}+2 \mathrm{H}^{+}(\mathrm{aq}) \rightarrow \mathrm{H}_2(\mathrm{~g})\) \(\mathrm{E}=\mathrm{E}^0-\frac{0.059}{\mathrm{n}} \log \frac{\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{H}_2}}{\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]^2}\)…
