hydrogen electrode -it is the most important electrode for use in aqueous solution
Answer:
hi friend ❤️❤️
here is your answer
Explanation:
The saturated calomel electrode (SCE) is a reference electrode based on the reaction between elemental mercury and mercury(I) chloride. It has been widely replaced by the silver chloride electrode, however the calomel electrode has a reputation of being more robust. The aqueous phase in contact with the mercury and the mercury(I) chloride (Hg2Cl2, "calomel") is a saturated solution of potassium chloride in water. The electrode is normally linked via a porous frit to the solution in which the other electrode is immersed. This porous frit is a salt bridge.
In cell notation the electrode is written as:
{\displaystyle {\ce {{Cl^{-}}(4M)|{Hg2Cl2(s)}|{Hg(l)}|Pt}}}
