    The hydr6gen electrode is dipped in a solution of pH = 3 at \[25{}^\circ C\]. The potential of the cell would be (the value of 2.303 RT/F is 0.059V)

    A)  0.177 V               

    B)  0.087 V

    C)  -0.177 V              

    D)  0.059 V

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    \[{{H}^{+}}+e\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}\frac{1}{2}{{H}_{2}}\] \[E=E{}^\circ -\frac{0.059}{n}\log \frac{1}{[{{H}^{+}}]}\] \[=0-\frac{0.059}{1}pH\] \[E=-\,0.059\times 3=-0.177\,V\]
