Nernst Equation

Nernst Equation

E = E° - (RT/nF) × ln(Q)

  • • E = Cell potential (V)
  • • E° = Standard cell potential (V)
  • • R = Gas constant (8.314 J/mol·K)
  • • T = Temperature (K)
  • • n = Number of electrons
  • • F = Faraday constant (96485 C/mol)
  • • Q = Reaction quotient

Key Concepts

  • • EMF drives electron flow
  • • Higher EMF = stronger driving force
  • • Q = 1 at standard conditions
  • • Positive EMF = spontaneous reaction
  • • Used in batteries, fuel cells
