Which reference electrode is used to measure the electrode potnetial of other electrodes?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Standard hydrogen electrode (SHE) is used as reference electrode to measure the electrode potential of other electrodes. Its electrode potential is assumed as zero. The electrode potential of any electrode as measured with respect to a standard hydrogen electrode is known as its standard electrode potential `(E^(Ï´))`. It may be either standard reduction potential or standard oxidation potential. For more details, consult section 3.5
