Identify a characteristic that does not describe a standard hydrogen electrode.
A) 1 M HCl solution with hydrogen gas
B) 1 atmosphere
C) zinc electrode
D) inert platinum electrode
E) potential of zero

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The characteristic that does not describe a standard hydrogen electrode is a zinc electrode. A standard hydrogen electrode consists of an inert platinum electrode immersed in a 1 M HCl solution with hydrogen gas at a pressure of 1 atmosphere. The potential of a standard hydrogen electrode is assigned a value of zero.
