Nernst Equation

[Maya F 1E]

How does the Nernst equation facilitate the calculation of equilibrium constants for redox reactions, and how can it be employed to determine the pH of a solution?

[George_Furey_1C]

You can use the Nernst equation to find the equilibrium constant. You can use it to find the pH of a solution by finding the equilibrium constant and then plugging in concentration values and solving for the concentration of H+ which allows you to find pH

The Nernst equation allows us to calculate the cell potential under non-standard conditions (i.e., when the concentrations of reactants and products are not at standard conditions). By comparing this non-standard cell potential to the standard cell potential, we can determine whether the reaction is at equilibrium or not. If E=E∘, the reaction is at equilibrium.
