Re: Nernst
yes, the total n is referring to the amount of electrons transferred in the balanced redox reaction.

Re: Nernst
Yes--after balancing the redox reaction and finding the intermediate electrons transferred, you use this number of electrons as 'n,' as they are the moles of electrons.

Re: Nernst
Yes, if you have a balanced reduction half rxn and balanced oxidation half rxn, they will both tell you the number of e- transferred.

Outline 5 says "Know how to derive the Nernst equation and use it to calculate the cell potential as a function of concentration" so I'm pretty sure.

Re: Nernst
Just making sure, n could never equal 0 since there is always a transfer of electrons right?

Yes I think so
