Answer:

In standard hydrogen electrode 1M HCl is taken and hydrogen gas is taken at 1atm pressure and temperature is maintained at 25℃. In these conditions its standard reduction potential and standard oxidation potential is always zero. This is the reason it can be used as a reference electrode.

the redox half cell: 2 H+(aq) + 2 e− → H2(g)

Explanation:

The standard hydrogen electrode (abbreviated SHE), is a redox electrode which forms the basis of the thermodynamic scale of oxidation-reduction potentials. Its absolute electrode potential is estimated to be 4.44 ± 0.02 V at 25 °C, but to form a basis for comparison with all other electroreactions, hydrogen's standard electrode potential (E°) is declared to be zero volts at any temperature.[1] Potentials of any other electrodes are compared with that of the standard hydrogen electrode at the same temperature.

Hydrogen electrode is based on the redox half cell:

2 H+(aq) + 2 e− → H2(g)
