Nernst Equation Calculator

Uses the Nernst equation to correct a standard cell potential for non-standard concentrations through the reaction quotient Q.

Notes

  • E = E° − (RT/nF)·lnQ. At 25 °C the factor RT/F·ln10 is 0.0592 V, so E changes 0.0592/n volts per decade of Q.
  • When Q = 1 the cell is at standard conditions and E = E°.
