    The pressure of \[{{H}_{2}}\] required to make the potential of \[{{H}_{2}}-\] electrode zero in pure water at 298 K is :-[NEET - 2016]

    A) \[{{10}^{14}}\text{ }atm\]

    B) \[{{10}^{12}}\text{ }atm\]

    C) \[{{10}^{-10}}atm\]

    D) \[{{10}^{-4}}atm\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] \[2{{H}^{+}}(aq)+2{{e}^{-}}\to {{H}_{2}}(g)\]
                \[\therefore \] \[E={{E}^{o}}-\frac{0.0591}{2}\log \frac{{{P}_{{{H}_{2}}}}}{{{[{{H}^{+}}]}^{2}}}\]
                \[0=0-0.0295\,\,\log \frac{{{P}_{{{H}_{2}}}}}{{{[{{10}^{-7}}]}^{2}}}\]
                \[\frac{{{P}_{{{H}_{2}}}}}{{{({{10}^{-7}})}^{2}}}=1\]
                \[{{P}_{{{H}_{2}}}}={{10}^{-4}}\,\text{atm}\]
