E naught

Postby jordanginyard_ » Sun Mar 07, 2021 3:21 pm

When would E naught be almost equal to zero?

The potential of a cell will change with time as a reaction progresses because the concentrations of reactants and products are changing. Given that E naught is equal to RT/nF * lnK, this will be equal to 0 if K is equal to 1, that is the reactants and products are equal in concentration. Also the temperature being at 0K would cause E naught to be 0 as well, although this isn't possible so the former is only considered.

I believe at equilibrium E naught equals zero since K=1 and ln(1) is zero.

E naught is 0 in a concentration cell, where the substances on either side are the same, just in different concentrations.

At equilibrium, the E naught will be zero!

E naught will be 0 at equilibrium because ln(1) =0 and this will make the equation equal 0.

E naught is zero at equilibrium because there is no change in the potential energy of the system due to the concentrations of the reactants and products remaining constant. In mathematical terms this is because K =1 and ln(1) = 0. That results in the entire equation for potential energy difference being zero.

E naught will be zero at equilibrium, when the concentrations of the reactants and products are the same.

E naught is 0 in a concentration cell and at equilibrium

E naught would be zero when the equation is at equilibrium.

E naught is zero when the reaction is at equilibrium. K=Q
