Nernst Equation

[Ricardo Ruiz Flores 1D]

What does the n_r variable represent in the Nernst Equation?

[Kyle Sheu 1C]

n_r is essentially the molar coefficient (in this case, the number of moles of e- transferred); n_r is unitless

Reference: P. 429

[Christy Zhao 1H]

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

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

[Rishi Khettry 1L]

Be sure to remember with n_r that the unit "mol" isn't incorporated

[Jimmy Zhang Dis 1K]

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

[Kevin Ru 1D]

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.
