Give the uses of the standard hydrogen electrode $(SHE)$.
(N/A) The standard hydrogen electrode $(SHE)$ is used as a reference electrode to measure the standard electrode potential of other half-cells.
$1$. It serves as a primary reference electrode with an assigned potential of $0.00 \ V$ at all temperatures.
$2$. It is used to determine the standard reduction potential of various metal/metal-ion couples by connecting them to the $SHE$ in an electrochemical cell.
$3$. It helps in constructing the electrochemical series by providing a baseline for comparison.
