Write the Nernst equation for the electrode reaction.
`M^(n+) ( aq) + n e^(-) rarr M(s)`
`E = E^(@) - ( 2.303 RT )/( nF ) log""( [ M ] )/([ M ^(n+)])`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

From Nernst equation, `E = E^(@) - ( 2.303 RT)/( nR) log"" ( [ M ] )/( [M^(n+)])`
For solid, M concentration is taken as unity
Hence, `E = E^(@) + ( 2.303 RT)/( nF ) log [ M^(n+)]`
