The value of SHE is taken as:
Correct answer: D. 0
- A. 1.1
- B. 1.76
- C. 1
- D. 0
Explanation
The electrode potential of a standard hydrogen electrode or SHE is taken as a reference to which the electrode potentials of other electrodes are compared. Since it is the reference, its conventional value is 0 V.

About Electrochemistry
Electrochemistry describes electron transfer through oxidation and reduction, identifies oxidizing and reducing agents, and applies oxidation numbers to balance redox equations. It also covers electrode potential and the standard hydrogen electrode, which provides the reference for comparing the reduction tendencies of other electrodes.
