Question

What is Nernst Equation? How can it be applied in calculating the equilibrium constant for the cell
Zn(s)[ZnSO4(aq)||CuSO4 (aq)|Cu(s)? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

K), F = 96,485 C/mol, is the Faraday's constant; Q is the reaction quotient, such that, for the reaction: Zn(s) + Cu2+(aq)  Zn2+(aq) + Cu(s), Q = [Zn2+]/[Cu2+]. The cell potential calculated from Nernst equation is the maximum potential at the instant the cell circuit is connected.
