Abstract The standard potential of the mercury:mercurous sulfate electrode in aqueous solution at 25°C is determined in terms of the Weston saturated and Clark saturated standard cells. Eight electrode combinations involving cadmium-amalgam or zinc-amalgam electrodes and one lead-amalgam electrode are employed with the emf of the standard cells. A best value of 0.61544 V was obtained that agrees within 0.09 mV with the value previously reported by Harned and Hamer.
