Question
Mention difficulties in settings Standard Hydrogen Electrode.

Answer

  1. It is difficult to obtain pure and dry hydrogen gas.
  2. The pressure of hydrogen gas cannot be maintained exactly at $1$ atm throughout the measurement.
  3. It is also difficult to maintain the concentration of $H^+$ ion solution at exactly $1\ M$. The bubbling of $H_2$ gas into the solution results in the evaporation of water which changes the concentration of the solution.
