e- transfer
If we can't measure the electron transfer of one cell in a half reaction what can we compare it to when calculating the e redox ? I remember having to compare it to a standard hydrogen electrode but is there an example for this?

Re: e- transfer
By measuring the E (potential) for the anode and adding it to the E for the cathode, you will get the E for the redox reaction produced.
The E for the anode and cathode can be measured by using a reference electrode such as the Standard Hydrogen Electrode (SHE). Typically, the E can be measured using a voltmeter.
Hope this helps! :)
