Can I say that standard electrode potential of any metal electrode is equal to the potential difference or e.m.f between that metal electrode and hydrogen electrode at standard conditions ?

Solution
The potential difference developed between metal electrode and the solution of its ions of unit molarity (1M) at 25°C (298 K) is called standard electrode potential. Yes, The potential of Standard hydrogen electrode is taken as 0 and hence the standard electrode potential of any metal electrode is equal to the emf between the electrode and SHE .
