Question

Which statement is true with respect to standard reduction potentials?

SRP values that are greater than zero always represent a reduction reaction.
SRP values that are less than zero always represent a reduction reaction.
Half-reactions with SRP values greater than zero are spontaneous.
Half-reactions with SRP values greater than zero are nonspontaneous.

Answer 1

C). Half-reactions with SRP values greater than zero are spontaneous.

Step-by-step explanation:

SRPs or Standard Reduction Potentials are characterized as the ability of a probable distinction among the anode and cathode of a usual/standard cell. It aims to examine the capacity of chemicals to reduce themselves.

The third statement asserts a true claim regarding the SRPs(Standard Reduction Potentials) that the 'half-reactions which take place with the SRP possesses the values higher than zero and they are unconstrained.' The other statements are incorrect as they either show the estimation of SRPs more than 0 or display them as being restricted. Thus, option C is the correct answer.
