Where is hydrogen located in the electrochemical classification?
Answers
Answer:
It is located at the top of group one of the periodic table.
Explanation:
This is because the periodic table is arranged so that all elements in a given group have the same number of outer or valence electrons.
The standard hydrogen electrode (abbreviated SHE), is a redox electrode which forms the basis of the thermodynamic scale of oxidation-reduction potentials. ... Hydrogen electrode is based on the redox half cell: 2 H+(aq) + 2 e− → H2(g)
Electrochemical series also sometimes referred to as activity series is a list that describes the arrangement of elements in order of their increasing electrode potential values. The series has been established by measuring the potential of various electrodes versus standard hydrogen electrode (SHE).
Zinc
ZincSo in terms of standard oxidation potential Zinc will have the highest oxidation potential i.e, 0.762 volts. Therefore, zinc is the strongest reducing agent.
