AIs always one
BCannot be measured
CCan be measured
DIs always zero
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Cannot be measured
1. Only a difference between two potentials can be read. 2. One half-cell alone gives no such difference. 3. So its potential cannot be measured by itself. _Source: syllabus Chemistry Part I, Chapter 3, Electrochemistry._
