Question

From which the value 0.059 is obtained in Nernst equation. Answer the given question in brief.

Answer 1

From Nernst equation,

Ecell= E^o cell- 2.303RT/nF logKc

Where, R=8.314 Jmol^-1 K, T=298K, F=96500 C.

Putting these values in the above equation, we get

Ecell=E^o cell- 2.303x8.314x298/nx96500 logKc

=>Ecell=E^o cell - 0.0592/n logKc
