Question

For a general electrochemical reaction of the type:

\[\ce{{a}A + {b}B ⇔ {c}C + {d}D}\]

Nernst equation can be written as:

Options

• E_cell = `"E"_"cell"^0 - "RT"/"nF" "In" (|"C"||"D"|)/(|"A"||"B"|)`

• E_cell = `"E"_"cell"^0 - "RT"/"nF" "In" (|"C"|^"c"|"D"|^"d")/(|"A"|^"a"|"B"|^"b")`

• `"E"_"cell" - "RT"/"nF" "In" (|"C"|^"c"|"D"|^"d")/(|"A"|^"a"|"B"|^"b")`

• `"E"_"cell" - "RT"/"nF" "In" (|"A"|^"a"|"B"|^"b")/(|"C"|^"c"|"D"|^"d")`

Answer 1

E_cell = `"E"_"cell"^0 - "RT"/"nF" "In" (|"C"|^"c"|"D"|^"d")/(|"A"|^"a"|"B"|^"b")`

Explanation:

E_cell = `"E"_"cell"^0 - "RT"/"nF" "In" (|"product"|)/(|"reactant"|)`
