Nernst Equation Reference

Nernst Equation:

E = E° - (RT/nF)ln(Q)

At 25°C: E = E° - (0.0257/n)ln(Q)

Or: E = E° - (0.0592/n)log(Q)

Variables:

E = electrode potential under actual conditions

= standard electrode potential

R = gas constant (8.314 J/(mol·K))

T = temperature (K)

n = number of electrons transferred

F = Faraday constant (96,485 C/mol)

Q = reaction quotient

Applications:

  • Predicting electrode potentials in real conditions
  • Designing concentration cells
  • Calculating equilibrium constants
  • Understanding battery performance
  • Analyzing corrosion processes
