← ScienceWhich outcome accompanies hydrogen evolution at a cathode?
A)Increase in local pH near electrode✓
B)Decrease in local redox half-potential
C)Formation of oxidized metallic layer
D)Consumption hydroxide ions at electrode
💡 Explanation
Hydrogen evolution consumes protons; therefore, local hydroxide concentration increases, raising the pH, rather than resulting in the reactions associated with metallic oxidation. The mechanism is proton reduction at the electrode.
