Interpretation:
calculate the potential of hydrogen electrode if copper were the standard electrode.
Concept introduction:
In normal convention the reduction potential of the standard hydrogen electrode is considered zero and the other reduction potentials are considered relative to it.
Answer to Problem 75A
If copper electrode were the standard, the potential of hydrogen electrode would be
Explanation of Solution
When hydrogen electrode is considered standard its reduction potential is zero and the reduction potential of Cu+|Cu electrode is
If copper electrode becomes standard all other potentials will decrease by
