Re: Nernst Equation
nr is essentially the molar coefficient (in this case, the number of moles of e- transferred); nr is unitless

Re: Nernst Equation
If you were confused with the subscript, page 571 says, "The subscript r is always the signal that we are using this 'molar' form."

Re: Nernst Equation
nr is the molar coefficient of the Nernst Equation. It is basically the number of moles of electrons transferred.

Re: Nernst Equation
It is the total amount of electrons transferred. This can be found by combining two half reactions for the redox reactions.

Re: Nernst Equation
To find the moles of electrons transferred, you'll want to look at the two balanced half reactions and make sure that the electron change is same in both.
