nernst and redox

Postby 906013563 » Sun Mar 17, 2024 9:07 pm

How can you use the Nernst equation to determine the cell potential of a redox reaction at non-standard conditions?

Write the balanced redox reaction and determine the number of moles of electrons transferred (n).
Determine the standard cell potential.
Calculate the reaction quotient.
Substitute values into the Nernst equation.
Solve for Ecell to find the cell potential under non-standard conditions.

It's a simple plug and chug. But make sure the reaction is balanced correctly, and the Enaught value is usually given in these types of questions.
