### nerst equation

In what situation would you know to use the nerst equation?

### Re: nerst equation

You can use it to mainly predict a cell potential of an electrochemical reaction or finding the concentrations of the species of an electrochemical reaction.

What is the difference between cell potential and standard cell potential?

### Re: nerst equation

standard cell potential is for reactions that are in equilibrium while cell potential is calculated from the Nernst equation for reactions that may or may not be in equilibrium

Return to “Appications of the Nernst Equation (e.g., Concentration Cells, Non-Standard Cell Potentials, Calculating Equilibrium Constants and pH)”
