The pressure of `H_(2)` required to make the potential of `H_(2)-`electrode zero in pure water at 298K isA. `10^(-14)atm`B. `10^(-12)atm`C. `10^(-10)atm`D. `10^(-4)atm`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`2H^(+)(aq)=2e^(-)toH_(2)(g)`
`thereforeE=E^(0)-(0.0591)/(2)"log"(P_(H_(2)))/([H^(+)]^(2))`
`0=0-0.295"log"(P_(H_(2)))/((10^(-7))^(2))`
`(P_(H_(2)))/((10^(-7))^(2))=1`
`P_(H_(2))=10^(-14)atm`
