Expression of Nernst Equation Nernst equation is an equation relating the capacity of an atom/ion to take up one or more electrons (reduction potential) measured at any conditions to that measured at standard conditions (standard reduction potentials) of 298K and one molar or one atmospheric pressure. Nernst Equation for Single Electrode Potential Ecell = E0 – [RT/nF] ln Q Where, Ecell = cell potential of the cell E0 = cell potential under standard conditions R = universal gas constant T = temperature n = number of electrons transferred in the redox reaction F = Faraday constant Q = reaction quotient The calculation of single electrode reduction potential (Ered) from the standard single electrode reduction potential (E°red) for an atom/ion is given by the Nernst equation. For a reduction reaction, Nernst equation for a single electrode reduction potential for a reduction reaction Mn+ + ne– → nM is; Ered = EMn+/M = EoMn+/M – [2.303RT/nF] log [1/[Mn+]] Where, R is the ...
