2.4.4 Method to Measure the Electrode Potentials
The main idea is to construct an electrochemical cell with the half-cell of interest and the Standard Hydrogen Electrode. The voltmeter measures the total cell potential (E0cell). Since the potential of the SHE is defined as exactly 0.00 V, the measured cell potential directly giv
