Chemistry-Nernst Equation
NEET Chemistry Nernst Equation Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 12
Assertion (A): The Nernst Equation can be used to calculate the equilibrium constant of a reaction from the standard potential of the cell. | Reason (R): The equilibrium constant is directly proportional to the standard electrode potential of the cell.
A
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true but R is false.
D
A is false.
Correct Answer
Option C
Detailed Explanation
The Nernst Equation relates the equilibrium constant to the standard potential of the cell, but the equilibrium constant is not directly proportional to the standard electrode potential. Instead, it is related through a logarithmic function as shown in the equation.
