Can absolute electrode potential of an electrode be measured ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

* No, only the difference in potential between two electrodes can be measured.
Absolute electrode potential could not be measured, because, only oxidation or reduction reaction can possible in one electrode. Two different electrode has oxidation-reduction reaction is possible.
