Question

The standard hydrogen electrode potential is zero because:

a) hydrogen oxidized easily

b) electrode potential is considered as zero

c) hydrogen atom has only one electron

d) all of this

[Pls explain answer]

Answer 1

option b is correct
,The absolute electrode potential for the standard hydrogen electrode (SHE) is estimated to be 4.44 ± 0.02 V at 25 °C. However, for the ease of comparison with other electrode potentials, the SHE is given a reference potential of 0 V at all temperatures.
