Standard electrode potentialEasyQuestion 710003

Question

The standard hydrogen electrode (SHE) has a potential of:
  1. A
    0 V by convention
    Correct
  2. B
    +1 V
  3. C
    −1 V
  4. D
    +0.5 V

Correct answer

0 V by convention

Explanation

The standard hydrogen electrode (SHE) is the reference electrode with E° = 0.00 V by convention. All other electrode potentials are measured relative to SHE.
