### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Standard Electrode Potential**: - The standard electrode potential (E°) is defined as the measure of the tendency of a metallic electrode to either lose electrons (oxidation) or gain electrons (reduction) when it is in contact with a solution of its own salt. 2. **Conditions for Measurement**: - The measurement of standard electrode potential is taken under specific conditions: - The solution must be of one molar concentration (1 M). ...
