On account of their slow reactions at electrodes, the potentials of most redox reactions of nitrogen compounds cannot be measured in an electrochemical cell. Instead, the values must be determined from other thermodynamic data. Illustrate such a calculation by using 

to calculate the standard potential of the N₂/NH₃ couple in basic aqueous solution.
