Calculate the potential of hydrogen electrode in contact with a solution whose pH is 10.

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Given:

For hydrogen electrode, pH = 10

n = 1

(n = moles of e^- from balanced redox reaction)

On using the formula [H⁺] = 10– pH

⇒ [H⁺] = 10 − 10 M

We know,

Here, E⁰ = 0

P[H₂] = 1

⇒
