Question

Write Nerst equation. What part of it represents the correction factor for nonstandard state conditions ?

✓

Answer

(1) Nernst equation for cell potential is,
$
E_{\text {cell }}=E_{\text {cell }}^0-\frac{2.303 R T}{n F} \log _{10} \frac{[\text { Products }]}{[\text { Reactants }]}
$
(2) The part of equation namely,
$
\frac{2.303 RT }{ nF } \log _{10}\frac{[\text { Products }]}{[\text { Reactants }]}
$
represents the correction factor for nonstandard state conditions.
