Question

Reduction potential of chlorine Electrode is
maximum when the chloride ion concentration is​

Answer 1

Answer:

The reduction potential of the chlorine electrode is maximum when the chloride ion concentration is​ maximum.

Explanation:

What is reduction potential?

The tendency of species to get reduced by acquiring electrons is called reduction potential.

It depends on

• temperature
• concentration

If the concentration of reactants, the equilibrium shifts causing an increase in voltage. As a result, the reduction potential also increases.

Thus, the reduction potential of the chlorine electrode is maximum when the chloride ion concentration is​ maximum.

Answer 2

Answer:

Reduction potential of chlorine Electrode is

maximum when the chloride ion concentration is ​maximum

Explanation:

Reduction potential :

              The metal and ion represent the half cell and the reaction is half reaction. The immersed metal is an electrode and the potential due to reaction at the interface of the electrode and the solution is called the electrode potential. Thus electrode potential is the tendency of an electrode to lose or gain electrons. If the reduction takes place at the electrode, it is termed as reduction potential.

        When a piece of metal is immersed in a solution of its own ions, a potential difference is created at the interface of the metal and the solution. The magnitude of the potential difference is a measure of the tendency of electrodes to undergo oxidation or reduction or tendency to lose or gain electrons.

      If the concentration of reactants, the equilibrium shifts causing an increase in voltage. As a result, the reduction potential also increases. Thus, the reduction potential of the chlorine electrode is maximum when the chloride ion concentration is​ maximum.
