Which statement defines reduction potential when considering a pair of half-cell reactions?
The half-reaction with the greater SRP has a greater tendency to gain electrons.
The half-reaction with the lower SRP has a greater tendency to gain electrons.
If each half-reaction has an SRP greater than zero, there will be two reduction reactions.
If each half-reaction has an SRP less than zero, there will be two oxidation reactions.

Respuesta :

The  half reaction  with  the   the  greater SRP has  a  greater  tendency  to  gain  electrons  is  the   definition of  reduction  potential when  considering  a pair of  half  cell  reactions.This  reduction potential  is  measured  against  hydrogen   electrode  which  is  standard  electrode. 

ANSWER: The correct answer is A. The half-reaction with the greater SRP has a greater tendency to gain electrons.
