Question

The emf of the cell obtained by coupling an electrode with SHE was 1.37V.If SHE is the positive electrode, find the potential of the given electrode.









please give answer.This is based on plus two chemistry.​

Answer 1

Answer:

as electrode potential of SHE is arbitrarily taken as zero oxidation or reduction may take place on it depending upon the electrode connected with it.if SHE is +ve then oxidation is taking place on it. and reduction is taking place on other electrode and its(connected electrode) potential will be +1.37V and it lies below SHE in electrochemical series given in reduction mode
