Chapter 19, Problem 17RQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

If $E_{{\text{Cu}}^{2+}}^{°}$ is chosen as the standard reference electrode and has a potential of $0.00\text{V}$. The reduction potential of the hydrogen electrode which is relative to it is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

An electrochemical cell in which electricity is derived from the spontaneous redox reaction occurring in the cell is called galvanic cell.

Standard reduction potential is the propensity of the chemical species to be reduced and is represented as $\Delta E$.
