The saturated calomel electrode, abbreviated SCE, is often used as a reference electrode in making electrochemical measurements. The SCE is composed of mercury in contact with a saturated solution of calomel Hg2Cl2. The electrolyte solution is KCl. ESCE is +0.242 V relative to standard hydrogen electrode.
Calculate the potential for each of the galvanic cells containing a saturated calomel electrode and the given half-cell components at standard conditions. In each case indicate whether the SCE is the cathode or the anode. Standard reduction potentials are found in table:
