The double vertical line represents two phase boundaries, one at each end of the salt bridge. A liquid-junction potential develops at each of these interfaces.

18C-2 The Standard Hydrogen Reference Electrode
an electrode must be easy to construct, reversible, and highly reproducible in its behavior. The standard hydrogen electrode (SHE) meets these specifications and has been used throughout the world for many years as a universal reference electrode. It is a typical gas electrode.
The half-reaction responsible for the potential that develops at this electrode is

1. The standard electrode potential is a relative quantity in the sense that it is the potential of an electrochemical cell in which the reference electrode is the standard hydrogen electrode, whose potential has been assigned a value of 0.000 V.
2. The standard electrode potential for a half-reaction refers exclusively to a reduction reaction;
3. The standard electrode potential measures the relative force tending to drive the half-reaction from the reactants and products are at their equilibrium activities

4. The standard electrode potential is independent of the number of moles of reactant and product shown in the balanced half-reaction.

5. A positive electrode potential indicates that the half-reaction in question is spontaneous with respect to the standard hydrogen electrode half-reaction.
6. The standard electrode potential for a half-reaction is temperature dependent.
