Standard State with Nernst Equation

[Sarah Sharma 2J]

When given a reaction and we are asked to calculate using the Nernst equation, when can we assume that it is in standard state if it doesn't specify?

[Payton Schwesinger 1J]

I think you assume that it is standard states unless it is otherwise specified- for anything that is not in standard state they usually give you the concentrations/partial pressures.

[Ivy Lu 1C]

It should be safe to assume that that it's in standard state, if no additional information about concentration or partial pressure is given.

I believe that the simplified equation of E=Enot-RT/nF*lnQ, which is E=Enot-0.00591/n * log Q, is given to us specifically so that we don't have to plug in values for T, since it's simplified for use under STP.

only assume that the reaction is not at standard conditions when the prompt itself gives some conditions (such as varying concentrations of reactant/product).
