Chapter 8, Problem 8.16E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether the $E°$ values are shifted up or down by $0.2682\text{V}$ if a calomel electrode is used instead of the standard hydrogen electrode is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Standard electrode potential $\left(E°\right)$ measures the reduction potential of chemical species. It is an intensive property. The standard electrical potential of the reaction is calculated by the formula,

$E°=E{°}_{\mathrm{Re}\text{d}}-E{°}_{\text{oxd}}$
