  • question_answer
    The correct representation of Nernst's equation is

    A)                 \[{{E}_{{{M}^{n+}}/M}}={{E}^{o}}_{{{M}^{n+}}/M}+\frac{0.0591}{n}\log \,({{M}^{n+}})\]

    B)                 \[{{E}_{{{M}^{n+}}/M}}={{E}^{o}}_{{{M}^{n+}}/M}-\frac{0.0591}{n}\log \,({{M}^{n+}})\]

    C)                 \[{{E}_{{{M}^{n+}}/M}}={{E}^{o}}_{{{M}^{n+}}/M}+\frac{n}{0.0591}\log \,({{M}^{n+}})\]

    D)                 None of the above

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               \[E={{E}^{o}}-\frac{RT}{nF}\ln \frac{1}{[{{M}^{n+}}]}\];\[E={{E}^{o}}+\frac{RT}{nF}\ln [{{M}^{n+}}]\]            \[E={{E}^{o}}+\frac{2.303RT}{nF}\log [{{M}^{n+}}]\]            Substituting the value of R, T (298K) and F we get                                 \[E={{E}^{o}}+\frac{0.0591}{n}\log ({{M}^{n+}})\].
