Question
Answer the following in one or two sentences.
Write Nernst equation. What part of it represents the correction factor for nonstandard state conditions?
Solution
1) For any general reaction, aA + bB → cC + dD
Nernst equation is given by
`"E"_"cell" = "E"_"cell"^circ - "RT"/"nF" "ln" (["C"]^"c" ["D"]^"d")/(["A"]^"a" ["B"]^"b")` OR
`"E"_"cell" = "E"_"cell"^circ - (2.303 "RT")/"nF" log_10 (["C"]^"c" ["D"]^"d")/(["A"]^"a" ["B"]^"b")`
where n = moles of electrons used in the reaction, F = Faraday = 96500 C,
T = temperature in kelvin,
R = gas constant = 8.314 J K-1 mol-1
2) The second term in the Nernst equation is the correction for nonstandard state conditions.
Correction factor is `(2.303 "RT")/"nF" log_10 (["C"]^"c" ["D"]^"d")/(["A"]^"a" ["B"]^"b")`
