Quinone undergoes a reversible reduction at a dropping mercury electrode. The reaction is C6H4O2 (quinone) + 2H+ + 2 e- <> C6H4 (OH)2 (hydroxyquinone) E°=0.599 V. Assume that the diffusion coefficient for quinine and hydroxyquinone are approximately the same. Calculate the approximate half-wave potential (vs SCE, E=0.244 V) for reduction of hydroxyquinone at a rotating disk electrode from a solution buffered to a pH of 7.0

Although the hydrogen electrode may be conceptually the simplest electrode and is the basis for the choice of reference potential in electrochemical systems, it is cumbersome to use. Therefore, several substitutes for it have been devised. One of these alternatives is the quinhydrone electrode (quinhydrone, Q ⋅ QH2, is a complex of quinone, C6H4O2 = Q, and hydroquinone, C6H4O2H2 = QH2), where the concentrations of Q ⋅ QH2 and QH2 are equal to each other. The electrode half-reaction is Q(aq) + 2 H+(aq) + 2 e− → QH2(aq), E⦵ = +0.6994 V. If the cell Hg(s)|Hg2Cl2(s)|HCl(aq)|Q ⋅ QH2|Au(s) is prepared, and the measured cell potential is +0.190 V, what is the pH of the HCl solution?
