A common reference electrode consists of a silver wire coated with AgCl(s) and immersed in 1 M KCl. AgCl (s) + e- → Ag(s) + Cl- (1 M)            E° = 0.2223 V Why would this electrode be easier to use than a standard hydrogen electrode? Select one: a. It is a less spontaneous system than the S.H.E. b. It yields a lower Ecell value. c. It does not use gases, so it is easier to handle. d. The S.H.E. is more standard

Question

A common reference electrode consists of a silver wire coated with AgCl(s) and immersed in 1 M KCl.

AgCl (s) + e- → Ag(s) + Cl- (1 M)            E° = 0.2223 V

Why would this electrode be easier to use than a standard hydrogen electrode?

Select one:
a. It is a less spontaneous system than the S.H.E.
b. It yields a lower Ecell value.
c. It does not use gases, so it is easier to handle.
d. The S.H.E. is more standard
