What is the formula for the Nernst equation in the cell reaction Ni(s) + 2Ag+(aq) → Ni2+(aq) + 2Ag(s)?
Options
- AE (cell) = Eo (cell) - RT/2F ln [Ni2+] / [Ag+]2
- BE (cell) = Eo (cell) - RT/2F ln [Ag+] / [Ni2+]2
- CE (cell) = Eo (cell) - RT/2F ln [Ni2+] / [Ag+]
- DE (cell) = Eo (cell) - RT/2F ln [Ag+] / [Ni2+]
Correct answer
A. E (cell) = Eo (cell) - RT/2F ln [Ni2+] / [Ag+]2
Step-by-step solution
The formula for the Nernst equation in the cell reactionNi(s) + 2Ag+(aq) → Ni2+(aq) + 2Ag(s) is E (cell) = Eo (cell) - RT/2F ln [Ni2+] / [Ag+]2.
