| Reference potential | |
| Hg2Cl2 + 2e = 2Hg + 2Cl- E0=241 mV vs RHE (25 deg C) |
Hg2SO4 + 2e = 2Hg + SO42- E0=657 mV vs RHE (25 deg C) |
| The reference potential is the measured value using RHEK reversible hydrogen electrode kit (Cat. No. 013597). | |
| - Material: Polymethylpentene, for the high chemical resistance is used. - Liquid junction: Ceramic tip |
|
| SCE (Saturated Calomel Electrode) has been used as reference electrode instead of SHE (Standard Hydrogen Electrode) for the reference potential measurement of electrodes in electrochemical research. | The RE-2CP Reference electrode is recommended, if you dislike a contamination with chloride ion from chloride type reference electrode. |
