Chemistry-Nernst Equation

NEET Chemistry Nernst Equation MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-fact-Hard-Class 12

What is the correct form of the Nernst equation for a general electrochemical reaction?

A

E(cell) = E°(cell) - (RT/nF) ln(Q)

B

E(cell) = E°(cell) + (RT/nF) ln(Q)

C

E(cell) = E°(cell) + (nF/RT) ln(Q)

D

E(cell) = E°(cell) - (nF/RT) ln(Q)

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The Nernst equation for a general electrochemical reaction is given as E(cell) = E°(cell) - (RT/nF) ln(Q), which relates the cell potential to the reaction quotient Q and standard cell potential.
