Can absolute electrode potential of an electrode be measured?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Absolute Electrode Potential**: - Absolute electrode potential refers to the potential of an electrode measured with respect to a universal reference system. It represents the energy difference between an electrode and a reference point. 2. **Defining the Reference System**: - The reference system typically used is the standard hydrogen electrode (SHE), which is assigned a potential of zero volts. This means that all other electrode potentials are measured relative to this standard. ...
