Answer:
hy it is impossible to obtain the electrode potential for a single electrode?
• It is due to the fact that neither by itself the oxidation occurs nor the reduction occurs .
• Experimentally, the absolute value of single electrode can't be determined, because independently half-cell reaction cannot occur.
• It is only possible to determine the difference between the electrode potentials of any two half-cell reactions.
