Value of N

[Eliana Carney 3E]

Hey guys!
I'm having issues figuring out the value of n to use in the NERNST equation. If someone could explain how to get this value, it would be appreciated!

[Lillian Ma 1I]

Hi, the n value is the number of electrons that are transferred, and you can most likely get it by looking at hte balanced reaction and seeing how many electrons are transferred between the reactants and products. I hope this helped!

[Victor Li 2A]

For Nernst Equation, "n" is the number of electrons transferred in the cell/redox reaction.

[David Chibukhchian 2G]

I agree with the other answers and would add that the "n" value is found after you have balanced the electrons, so if the half-reactions have a differing number of electrons that are being transferred, you have to multiply one or both of them by some factor to make them equal. Once you do that, you can enter this value as "n" in the Nernst Equation. I hope that helps!

The 'n' is often written as ne (subscript e, that is. I always remember it that way because it reminds me that it refers to the number of electrons that are involved in a redox reaction. To find that number, find the half equations and then multiply them so that the number of electrons are equal for both the oxidation and reduction have equations.

[Stephen Min 1I]

N refers to the number of electrons transferred in the redox reactions which accounts for both of the balanced (in charge and coefficients) half reactions.

[Sydney Sullivan 2J]

First, write out the balanced half reactions. "n" will be the number of moles of electrons that are transferred within these reactions :)

[Sheryl Ocampo 1D]

It's the moles of electrons transferred in the reaction

[Kyla Roche 2K]

N is the number of electrons that are transferred. We see this number of electrons when we are balancing both half reactions to cancel out and equal the overall reaction.

[Andrew Yoon 3L]

N represents the number of moles of electrons that are being transferred in the reaction. You can only find N once you have balanced out the equation.

[Mina Tadros 3L]

n is the number of electrons that are transferred in a redox reaction. Make sure you balance your redox reactions before plugging in a value for n in the Nernst equation.

[Armen_Isayan_2L]

Hello! The n value is perceived as the number of electrons that are transferred, in order to acquire the n value, you must look at the full balanced reaction and determine how many electrons have ultimately transferred between the reactants and products.

[Bryan Le 2K]

N is the number of electrons transfers. You can find them from the half reactions. They should be the same number.

[abby hyman]

n is the number of electrons transferred once the equations are balanced.

[Tatyana Bonnet 2H]

n is the number of electrons involved in the reaction. After balancing your equations, the number of electrons on the product of the oxidation and in the reactants of the reduction should cancel out. That number of electrons = n

[Kristina Krivenko 3I]

Hi! n is the number of moles of electrons transferred in a balanced redox reaction. Hope this helps :)

[Linette Choi 3L]

n is equal to the moles of electrons transferred in the reaction. For for instance if you have Cu2+ --> Cu4+ + 2e-, the number of electrons transferred is 2.

[Manseej Khatri 2B]

Hi. When you balance the half reactions, the electrons transferred would be the n used in the nernst equation.

[Rose_Malki_3G]

N is the number of electrons being transferred. This can be found by determining the oxidation numbers of the species being reduced and oxidized

[Izamary Marquez 2H]

n is moles, like in other equations that we have looked at in the past. In this case, it represents the moles of e- transferred in a cell red/ox.

[Moura Girgis 1F]

N is determined by the number of electrons being transferred, which can be calculated by canceling out the number of electrons in a reaction so that the total charge in reactants equals the total charge of the products.

[Joseph_Armani_3K]

N, in this case, would be the number of electrons transferred in a redox reaction. It would make sense; in a way, they're the number of moles of electrons in a balanced equation. You'll be able to get that number if you balance a redox reaction by balancing the half-reactions!

[Kiara Phillips 3L]

Hey! I believe n is the number of moles of electrons transferred in a balanced redox reaction.

[Diana Aguilar 3H]

Hi! Like many have stated, n represents the number of electrons being transferred which can be found in the balanced half reactions of the redox reaction.

[Neha Jonnalagadda 2D]

In this equation, the N stands for the number of electrons that are transferred during the balanced redox reaction.
