Answer

See explanation below.

Work Step by Step

Isolated reduction or oxidation potential can’t be directly measured. By assigning a standard half-cell potential to a particular half-reaction, the standard potentials of other half-reactions can be determined. The standard reference half-cell is a standard hydrogen electrode defined to have an E value of 0.000 V.
