  2. Standard hydrogen electrode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_hydrogen_electrode

    During the early development of electrochemistry, researchers used the normal hydrogen electrode as their standard for zero potential. This was convenient because it could actually be constructed by "[immersing] a platinum electrode into a solution of 1 N strong acid and [bubbling] hydrogen gas through the solution at about 1 atm pressure".

  3. Absolute electrode potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_electrode_potential

    This potential is difficult to determine accurately. For this reason, a standard hydrogen electrode is typically used for reference potential. The absolute potential of the SHE is 4.44 ± 0.02 V at 25 °C. Therefore, for any electrode at 25 °C:

  4. Table of standard reduction potentials for half-reactions ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_standard...

    The standard hydrogen electrode (SHE), with [ H +] = 1 M works thus at a pH = 0. At pH = 7, when [ H +] = 10 −7 M, the reduction potential of H + differs from zero because it depends on pH. Solving the Nernst equation for the half-reaction of reduction of two protons into hydrogen gas gives: 2 H + + 2 e − ⇌ H 2

  5. Electrode potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrode_potential

    In electrochemistry, electrode potential is the voltage of a galvanic cell built from a standard reference electrode and another electrode to be characterized. [1] By convention, the reference electrode is the standard hydrogen electrode (SHE).

  6. Standard electrode potential (data page) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_electrode...

    The data below tabulates standard electrode potentials (E°), in volts relative to the standard hydrogen electrode (SHE), at: Temperature 298.15 K (25.00 °C; 77.00 °F); Effective concentration (activity) 1 mol/L for each aqueous or amalgamated (mercury-alloyed) species; Unit activity for each solvent and pure solid or liquid species; and

  7. Standard electrode potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_electrode_potential

    Bipolar electrochemistry scheme. In electrochemistry, standard electrode potential, or , is a measure of the reducing power of any element or compound.The IUPAC "Gold Book" defines it as; "the value of the standard emf (electromotive force) of a cell in which molecular hydrogen under standard pressure is oxidized to solvated protons at the left-hand electrode".

  8. Reference electrode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_electrode

    Common reference electrodes and potential with respect to the standard hydrogen electrode (SHE): Standard hydrogen electrode (SHE) (E = 0.000 V) activity of H + = 1 Molar; Normal hydrogen electrode (NHE) (E ≈ 0.000 V) concentration H + = 1 Molar; Reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) (E = 0.000 V - 0.0591 × pH) at 25 °C

  9. Nernst equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nernst_equation

    In electrochemistry, the Nernst equation is a chemical thermodynamical relationship that permits the calculation of the reduction potential of a reaction (half-cell or full cell reaction) from the standard electrode potential, absolute temperature, the number of electrons involved in the redox reaction, and activities (often approximated by concentrations) of the chemical species undergoing ...
