Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(-0.59 \mathrm{~V}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hints : \(\mathrm{H}^{+}(\mathrm{pH}=10)\left|\mathrm{H}_2(1 \mathrm{~atm})\right| \operatorname{Pt}(\mathrm{s})\) Reaction: \(2 \mathrm{H}^{+}\left(\mathrm{p}^{\mathrm{H}}=10\right)+2 \mathrm{e} \rightarrow \mathrm{H}_2(1 \mathrm{~atm})\)…
