Question

Write Nernst equation for the following cell reaction:

\[\ce{2 A + 3 B -> C + 2 D}\]

Equation/Formula
Advertisements

Solution

The Nernst condition is a condition in electrochemistry that links the standard cathode potential, temperature, and exercises (often approximated by groupings) of the synthetic species undergoing decrease and oxidation to the reduced capability of a response (half-cell or full cell response).

According to the Nernst equation:

`E_"cell" = E_"cell"^circ - (RT)/(nF) log  (["Product"])/(["reactant"])`

So, the equation for the given reaction would be:

`E_"cell" = E_"cell"^circ - (RT)/(nF) log  ([C][D]^2)/([A]^2[B]^3)`
