Question
Convert the following voltages. Assume the silver-silver chloride and calomel reference electrodes are saturated with KCl, giving cell potentials of 0.197 V and 0.241, respectively.
(a) If an electrode has a potential of 0.597 V with respect to a standard hydrogen electrode (S.H.E.), what is the potential with respect to a silver-silver chloride electrode? (b) If an electrode has a potential of –0.099 V with respect to a silver-silver chloride electrode, what is the potential with respect to a S.H.E.? (c) If an electrode has a potential of –0.181 V with respect to a saturated calomel electrode (S.C.E.), what is the potential with respect to a S.H.E.? (d) If an electrode has a potential of 0.006 V with respect to a silver-silver chloride electrode, what is the potential with respect to a S.C.E.? (e) If an electrode has a potential of –0.002 V with respect to a S.C.E., what is the potential with respect to a sliver-silver chloride electrode?
