The standard reduction potential of Fe^(3+), Fe^(2+)//Pt is + 0.771V. This half cell is connected with another half cell such that e.m.f. of the cell is 0.771V. What is the other half cell ?

Answer»

Solution :(i) The EMF of the standard hydrogen electrode is Zero volts.
`Fe//Fe^(3+)Fe^(2+), H^(2)""_((atm)pt)""E=0.771V`
E measured `=E_(R)-E_(L)`
(II) emf of SHE = 0
`E_("measured")=0.771V-0=0.771V`
(iii) `therefore` The other half CELL CONNECTED is Standard Hydrogen Electrode (SHE).
