Answer 1

Well arranged question is;

Select the statement that is FALSE about this experiment. Group of answer choices;

A) Changing metal solution will affect the redox potential.

B) To ensure consistent data, collect the redox potential values at least three times.

C) Changing temperature will affect the redox potential.

D) To ensure stable reading, insert the conductivity meter in the solution for at least 60 seconds.

E) Changing concentration will affect the redox potential.

Answer:

D) To ensure stable reading, insert the conductivity meter in the solution for at least 60 seconds.

Explanation:

Usually, redox potential is the measure of the ability of chemical elements to gain/lose electrons from/to an electrode respectively and after which they undergo reduction or oxidation respectively.

From online sources on experiments to determine redox potential, and taking into account the nernst equation which is; E_cell = E_0 – (RT/nF)•ln Q

Where;

E_cell is cell potential

E_0 is potential of the cell under standard conditions

R is universal gas constant

T is temperature

n is the number of electrons that are transferred in the redox reaction

F is Faraday's constant

Q is reaction quotient

Now, with all that in mind and looking at the options, the one that is false is option D.
