Consider the following electrochemical cell notation: M(s) / M2+(aq)// H+(aq)/ H2(g). The value of the electrode potential is positive when
  • A.
    electrons flow from the metal electrode, M(s) to hydrogen electrode, H2(g)
  • B.
    electrons fow from hydrogen electrode, H2(g) to metal electrode, M(s)
  • C.
    the flow of current is high
  • D.
    there is equilibrium between the flow of electrons from the hydrogen electrode, H2(g) to metal electrode, M(s)
