Standard reduction potential of an electrode has a fixed value.

Q. Assertion : If standard reduction potential for the reaction Ag++e→Ag is 0.80volt, then for the reaction 2Ag++2e−→2Ag, it will be 1.60volt. Reason : If concentration of Ag+ ions is doubled, the standard electrode potential is also doubled.

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

If assertion is true but reason is false

If both assertion and reason are false

Standard reduction potential of an electrode has a fixed value.

Q. Assertion : If standard reduction potential for the reaction $A g^{+} + e \to A g$ is $0.80 v o lt$ , then for the reaction $2 A g^{+} + 2 e^{-} \to 2 A g$ , it will be $1.60 v o lt$ .
Reason : If concentration of $A g^{+}$ ions is doubled, the standard electrode potential is also doubled.
