In case of a standard hydrogen electrode
         
       
      
      
      
          
      
      
          Answer & Explanation
         Answer: A) absolute electrode potential is not zero         
         
Explanation: The Standard hydrogen electrode (abbreviated SHE), is a redox electrode which forms the basis of the thermodynamic scale of oxidation-reduction potentials. Its absolute electrode potential is estimated to be 4.44 ± 0.02 V at 25 °C, but to form a basis for comparison with all other electrode reactions, hydrogen's standard electrode potential (E0) is declared to be zero volts only at 298.
