The Nernst Equation

In electrochemistry, the Nernst equation can be used to determine the reduction potential of an electrochemical cell.

Concentration of Cells

Walther Nernst proposed a mathematical model to determine the effect of reactant concentration on the electrochemical cell potential.

Free Energy and Cell Potential

In a galvanic cell, where a spontaneous redox reaction drives the cell to produce an electric potential, the change in Gibbs free energy must be negative.

Equilibrium Constant and Cell Potential

The equilibrium constant K can be calculated using the Nernst equation.
