Nernst Equation

[Johnathan Smith 1D]

When do we know to use the nernst equation?

[Christine Honda 2I]

You use the Nernst equation to quantitatively determine the direction of the electron transfer under non-standard conditions. We use it when there's a dependence of cell potential on concentration.

[EvanWang]

We use the Nernst equation to find the cell reduction potential when we know the concentrations of the products and reactants, as well as the moles of electrons transferred and the standard reduction potential.

[Leyna Dang 2H]

We use the equation to find the cell reduction potential when the product and reactant concentrations are known.

The Nernst equation can be used to find the cell potential at any moment during a reaction or at conditions other than standard-state.
