Wk.7/8 #17

What would the potential of a standard hydrogen electrode (S.H.E.) be under the following conditions?
[H+]=0.68 MpH2=4.8 atmT=298 K

First I used the Nernst equation to determine the potential of a half reaction. The reduction reaction of SHE is 2H++2e-==H2.
Next I plug the values into the equation along with the constant 0.0592V. After calculating everything I would then get -0.030V.

Well done.
