What is the standard potential of the Zn/Zn²⁺ electrode with respect to the standard hydrogen electrode (SHE), given that the reduction potential of Zn²⁺ is -0.761 V?

The standard potential of the Zn/Zn electrode with respect to the standard hydrogen electrode  SHE  is the same as the reduction potential of Zn, which is -0.761 V. This is because the standard hydrogen electrode has a potential of 0 V by definition, so the potential difference between the Zn/Zn electrode and the SHE is simply the reduction potential of Zn.
