Question

short note on nernst equation

Answer 1

In electrochemistry, the Nernst equation is an equation that relates the reduction potentialof 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. It is the most important equation in the field of electrochemistry. It was named after Walther Nernst, a German physical chemist who formulated the equation.

Answer 2

Answer:

Nernst Equation - Can be used to find the cell potential at any moment in during a reaction or at conditions other than standard-state. Reaction quotient (Qc) - The mathematical product of the concentrations of the products of the reaction divided by the mathematical product of the concentrations of the reactants.
