Describe the construction of calomel electrode?
It consists of tube in the bottom of which is a layer of mercury ,over which is placed a paste of Hg+HgCl2.The remaining portion of cell is filled with a solution of normal or decinormal or saturated solution of KCl. a platinum wire dipping into the mercury layer is used for making electrical contact. the side tube is used for electrode is formulated as;Hg,Hg2Cl2,KCl. the electrode can be coupled with the hydrogen electrode of unknown pH.

How do you measure electric potential?
A voltmeter is an instrument used to measure electric potential difference. The voltmeter have two electrodes, reference electrode and test electrode, the electrodes are put in two different places where you want to find the potential difference. For instance, if the test electrode is placed on the positive pole and the reference electrode on the negative pole of a 3V battery, the voltmeter would read '+3 volts'.
