Which of the following is a Nernst equation?(a) Ecell=E^ocell–RT/nF ln(K)(b) Ecell=E^ocell–nF/RT ln(K)(c) E^0cell=Ecell–RT/nF ln(K)(d) E^0cell=Ecell–nF/RT ln(K)I had been asked this question during an online interview.My doubt stems from Corrosion Principles in chapter Corrosion Principles of Corrosion Engineering

Answer»

The correct option is (a) Ecell=E^ocell–RT/nF ln(K)

Explanation: Ecell=E^ocell–RT/nF ln(K) is the Nernst equation. E^ocell is the potential of a CELL in the standard state, R is Universal GAS CONSTANT, n is the valency of ion, T is absolute TEMPERATURE, F is Faraday’s constant and K is the reaction QUOTIENT, Ecell is the cell potential.
