### Equilibrium Constants

How can you determine the standard cell potential if it's not given? Can you plug in an alternative equation?

You could use the Nernst equation depending on what else is given.

Yeah, there are plenty of equations that you can use depending on what values you're given, like E°cell = E°cathode − E°anode or the Nernst equation.

### Re: Equilibrium Constants

It depends on what you're given but probably you can use the Nernst equation, but it depends on if you're given enough to use that
