Question

Derive nernst equation for single elcetrode potential based on thermodynamic principle

Answer 1

Answer:

Nernst equation is a general equation that relates the Gibbs free energy and cell potential in electrochemistry. It is very helpful in determining cell potential, equilibrium constant etc. At standard temperature T = 298 K, the 2.303RTF, term equals 0.0592 V.

Answer 2

Answer:

In electrochemistry, the Nernst equation is an equation that relates the reduction potential of an electrochemical reaction (half-cell or full cell reaction) to the standard electrode potential, temperature, and activities (often approximated by concentrations) of the chemical species undergoing reduction and oxidation ...
