### Re: Nernst Equation

It relates the reduction potential of an electrochemical reaction to the standard electrode potential, temperature, and concentrations of the chemical species going through reduction and oxidation.

### Re: Nernst Equation

The Nernst equation helps to relate cell potential to the concentrations of the species within it. It therefore also helps relate standard cell potential to the equilibrium constant.
