Answer:

A Standard Hydrogen Electrode is an electrode that scientists use for reference on all half-cell potential reactions. The value of the standard electrode potential is zero, which forms the basis one needs to calculate cell potentials using different electrodes or different concentrations. It is important to have this common reference electrode, just as it is important for the International Bureau of Weights and Measures to keep a sealed piece of metal that is used to reference the S.I. Kilogram.

Answer:

The role of an electrode as cathode or anode depends on the nature and electrode potential of the other electrode with which it forms the complete electrochemical cell.

When a cell is to be made with zinc electrode and hydrogen electrode, the hydrogen electrode will behave as a cathode and the zinc electrode will behave as anode because zinc is present above hydrogen in the activity series. That is zinc is more electropositive than hydrogen.

If the cell is made with a copper electrode and hydrogen electrode, the hydrogen electrode will behave as anode and the copper electrode as a cathode. This is due to the fact that Cooper is present below hydrogen in the activity series. Copper is less electropositive than hydrogen.

c) the salt solubility decreases with temperature.

Salts usually dissolve in water at a given temperature. When water cannot dissolve anymore salt at that same temperature, it is known as a saturation point. With most substances the solubility increases with increase in temperature. Same is the case for a salt like potassium nitrate. With increase in temperature the ability of it to dissolve in water increases. And so with decrease in temperature, the solubility decreases.

Ann [662]

Solution:

After the reaction of mixture is worked-up Washing three times the organic  with sodium carbonate helps to decrease the solubility of the organic layer into the aqueous layer. This allows the organic layer to be separated more easily.

And then the reaction washed by saturated NACL we have The bulk of the water can often be removed by shaking or "washing" the organic layer with saturated aqueous sodium chloride (otherwise known as brine). The salt water works to pull the water from the organic layer to the water layer.
