Q. Which of the following statements is not correct about an inert electrode in a cell?

Electrochemistry

Solution:

The inert electrode is an electrode that serves only as a source or sinks for electrons. Precious metals, mercury, and carbon are typically used as inert electrodes.
It provides a surface for oxidation or reduction reaction but not for the redox reaction. It does not participate in the cell reaction.
