Question
Which of the following statement is not correct about an inert electrode in a cell?
Options
It does not participate in the cell reaction.
It provides surface either for oxidation or for reduction reaction.
It provides surface for conduction of electrons.
It provides surface for redox reaction.
Solution
It provides surface for redox reaction.
Explanation:
Inert electrode does not participate in redox reaction and acts only as source or sink for electrons. It provides surface either for oxidation or for reduction reaction.

Oxidation-reduction reactions are commonly known as redox reactions. They involve transfer of electrons from one species to another. In a spontaneous reaction, energy is released which can be used to do useful work. The reaction is split into two half-reactions. Two different containers are used and a wire is used to drive the electrons from one side to the other and a Voltaic/Galvanic cell is created. It is an electrochemical cell that uses spontaneous redox reactions to generate electricity. A salt bridge also connects to the half-cells. The reading of the voltmeter gives the cell voltage or cell potential or electromotive force. If \[\ce{E^0_{cell}}\] is positive the reaction is spontaneous and if it is negative the reaction is non-spontaneous and is referred to as electrolytic cell. Electrolysis refers to the decomposition of a substance by an electric current. One mole of electric charge when passed through a cell will discharge half a mole of a divalent metal ion such as Cu2+. This was first formulated by Faraday in the form of laws of electrolysis.
