The correct Answer is:
To determine which statements about the Standard Hydrogen Electrode (SHE) are correct, we will analyze each statement step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Standard Hydrogen Electrode (SHE)**: - The SHE is a reference electrode used in electrochemistry. It consists of a platinum electrode in contact with hydrogen gas at a pressure of 1 bar and an acidic solution with a concentration of H⁺ ions at 1 mol/L. 2. **Evaluating Statement A**: - **Statement**: The electrode potential of SHE is arbitrarily assumed to be zero. - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. The standard electrode potential of SHE is defined as zero volts, which serves as a reference point for measuring other electrode potentials. 3. **Evaluating Statement B**: - **Statement**: The standard electrode potential (E°) of SHE is equal to zero. - **Analysis**: This statement is also correct. As mentioned, the standard electrode potential of SHE is defined to be zero volts. 4. **Evaluating Statement C**: - **Statement**: The representation of SHE is correct as platinum electrode with hydrogen gas and H⁺ ions. - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. The SHE is represented as: \[ \text{Pt} | \text{H}_2(g) | \text{H}^+(aq) \] - This notation indicates the platinum electrode, hydrogen gas, and hydrogen ions in solution. 5. **Evaluating Statement D**: - **Statement**: SHE is susceptible to dissolve oxygen, hydrogen sulfide, and other reducing agents. - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. The presence of gases like O₂ and H₂S can affect the concentration of H⁺ ions in the solution, thus influencing the electrode potential of SHE. ### Conclusion: All statements A, B, C, and D about the Standard Hydrogen Electrode (SHE) are correct. ### Final Answer: - All statements (A, B, C, D) are correct regarding the Standard Hydrogen Electrode (SHE). ---
