If ' A ' is the reactant and ' P ' is the product, which one of the following is the correct form of Nernst equation?
Options
- A[A] [P] = ( R T n F (E-E^ ) )
- B[A] [P] = ( n F R T (E-E^ ) )
- C[A] [P] = (- n F R T (E-E^ ) )
- DE=E^ - R T n F [A] [P]
Correct answer
B. [A] [P] = ( n F R T (E-E^ ) )
Step-by-step solution
According to Nernst equation : aligned & E=E^ - R T n F [ Product ] [ Reactant ] & or, E=E^ - R T n F [P] [A] & or, E-E^ =- R T n F [ P A ] & or, [ A P ]=e^ [ n F R T (E-E^ ) ] & or [A] [P] = ^ [ n F R T (E-E^ ) ] & aligned Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.
