The potential developed between a metal rod and its solution due to oxidation is called:
AReduction potential
BOxidation potential
CSolubility potential
DNeutralization potential
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Oxidation potential
The notes define the potential developed between the rod and the solution in this case as oxidation potential, represented by $E(Zn/Zn^{2+})$.
