Question detail

Calculate the standard electrode potential of a half-cell if the reaction is: Cu²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⇌ Cu(s) and the standard electrode potential of the SHE is 0.00 V. Given that the standard electrode potential of the copper half-cell is +0.34 V, what is the overall cell potential when combined with the SHE?
