(B) The half-cell reaction is: $H_2(g) 	o 2H^+(aq) + 2e^-$.Using the Nernst equation for the oxidation potential: $E = E^\circ - \frac{0.059}{n} \log Q$.Here,$n = 2$,$E^\circ = 0 	ext{ V}$,$[H^+] = 0.02 	ext{ M}$,and $P_{H_2} = 2 	ext{ atm}$.$Q = \frac{[H^+]^2}{P_{H_2}} = \frac{(0.02)^2}{2} = \frac{0.0004}{2} = 0.0002 = 2 	imes 10^{-4}$.$E = 0 - \frac{0.059}{2} \log(2 	imes 10^{-4})$.$E = -0.0295 	imes (\log 2 + \log 10^{-4}) = -0.0295 	imes (0.3010 - 4) = -0.0295 	imes (-3.699) \approx 0.109 	ext{ V}$.
