Detailed Solution

This is the relation between emf of cell and pH. Emf of hydrogen is represented by formula:
EH20=-2.303RTF×pH   

where, R and F are constant .
If we consider emf of hydrogen at 250C then
EH20(at 250c)=(-0.0591)×pH
Now, for pH=0 by putting values
EH20=0
For pH=7 by putting values
EH20=-0.0591×7=-0.41, it means emf of hydrogen decreases by 0.41 V.

Hence option D is correct.
