Nernst Equation Calculator
Calculate cell potentials using the Nernst equation for chemistry enthusiasts.
What is the Nernst Equation Calculator & How does it work?
The Nernst equation is a fundamental principle in electrochemistry that relates the reduction potential of an electrochemical reaction to the standard electrode potential, temperature, and the activities (or concentrations) of the chemical species involved. It provides a way to predict the cell potential under non-standard conditions.
The equation is given by:
The equation is given by:
E = E^\circ – \frac{RT}{nF} \ln Q
E = Cell potential
E\circ = Standard reduction potential
R = Gas constant (8.314 J/(mol·K))
T = Temperature in Kelvin
n = Number of moles of electrons transferred
F = Faraday’s constant (96485 C/mol)
Q = Reaction quotient
