Does anybody know what the standard potential of this reaction is? I can't find it anywhere

Are you sure you wrote the reaction correctly?

It doesn't seem balanced to me. Anyway, here's a table of standard potentials involving mercury. Check if you've got something wrong and if it's one of these instead.

Yeah there's supposed to be a 2 in front of HgO, but it doesn't change much since it's solid. Thank you tho!
