Moles in -nFEcell

[Nico Edgar 4L]

How do we know what n is? Is it just the sum of the coefficients of the products?

[Gillian Murphy 2C]

n represents the number of electrons transferred in a balanced redox reaction

[varunhariharan]

To find n, you must write out both of the half reactions and balance the equations. Once the number of electrons on both sides of the reaction are consistent, this is how many moles should be used in this equation.

[Jake Gordon 1A]

n is the number of moles (stoichiometric coefficent) for the electrons transferred in the balanced redox reaction

[Rehan Chinoy 1K]

To be clear n is the number of moles of electrons in the balanced redox reaction, not the number of electrons.

[Brian Kwak 1D]

As everyone stated before n represents the moles of electrons. To figure it out you could do the reduction and oxidation half-reactions for the reaction to calculate it. Balance the reactions so there are equal number of electrons for both the oxidation and reduction half reactions. I just want to note that even if you change the coefficients of the half reactions the E° For the reactions does not change because it is a INTENSIVE property!
