Question
Write Nernst equation for the general cell reaction,
$\text{aA}+\text{bB}\xrightarrow{ \ \ \ \ \ \ }\text{xX + yY}.$

Answer

If n moles of electrons are transferred, Nernst equation is:
$\text{E}_{\text{cell}}=\text{E}^{\circ}_{\text{cell}}-\frac{\text{RT}}{\text{nF}}\text{In}\frac{[\text{X}]^{\text{z}}[\text{Y}]^{\text{y}}}{[\text{A}]^{\text{a}}[\text{B}]^{\text{b}}}$
