Standard Hydrogen Electrode (SHE)
- The Standard Hydrogen Electrode (SHE) is used as a reference electrode in electrochemical cells.
- The electrode potential of the SHE is defined as 0 volts under standard conditions.
- It is used as a standard to measure the electrode potentials of other electrodes.
EXPLANATION:
- The Standard Hydrogen Electrode (SHE) is based on the half-reaction:
H2(g) → 2H+(aq) + 2e-
- Under standard conditions (1 M H+ ion concentration, 1 atm H2 gas pressure, and 25°C), the electrode potential of the SHE is assigned a value of 0 V.
- This means that, by definition, the SHE has an electrode potential of 0 V and serves as the baseline for measuring the electrode potentials of other half-cells.
Therefore, the electrode potential of the Standard Hydrogen Electrode (SHE) is 0 V.
