An electrode has a potential of -0.735 V with respect to a saturated calomel electrode (S.C.E.). What is the potential with respect to a saturated silver-silver chloride electrode? E(S.C.E.) = +0.241 V, E(Ag|AgCl) = +0.197 V.

An electrochemical cell is composed of a platinum indicator electrode and a silver-silver chloride (Ag|AgCl) reference electrode in a solution where the [Mn2+]/[Mn3+] = 0.0873. Calculate the cell potential if the Ag|AgCl reference electrode is replaced with a saturated calomel reference electrode (SCE). The standard reduction potential for the Mn3+/Mn2+ half-reaction is 1.56 V. Ecell

Ag-AgCl reference electrode, saturated in KCl. The standard redox potential of the Ag+/Ag couple is 0.8V at 298K. Considering the solubility product constant of AgCl (Ks = 1.56 x 10^-10), calculate the potential of this electrode. Why is it a reference electrode? Solubility of KCl at 25°C = 2.8 mol l^-1
