What is the Nernst equation used for? (2023) 2023
  • Step 1: Understand that the Nernst equation is a formula used in chemistry.
  • Step 2: Know that it helps calculate the voltage (or cell potential) of an electrochemical cell.
  • Step 3: Recognize that this calculation is important when conditions are not standard (like different concentrations or temperatures).
  • Step 4: Remember that standard conditions are usually 1 M concentration, 1 atm pressure, and 25 degrees Celsius.
  • Step 5: Use the Nernst equation to find out how the cell potential changes when conditions vary from these standard conditions.
