Chemistry-Nernst Equation

NEET Chemistry Nernst Equation Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 12

Assertion (A): The Nernst equation can be used to calculate cell potential for a reaction involving concentration changes over time. | Reason (R): The Nernst equation accounts for the changing concentrations of reactants and products by incorporating the reaction quotient Q.

A

Both A and R are true, and R explains A.

B

Both A and R are true, but R does not explain A.

C

A is true but R is false.

D

A is false.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The Nernst equation relates cell potential to the concentrations of reactants and products, thus allowing the calculation of cell potential as concentrations change (Chunk 3).
