NEET Chemistry Nernst Equation MCQ Question
Which of the following combinations about the Nernst equation and galvanic cells is correct?
The Nernst equation relates cell potential to concentration changes, and the cell potential decreases as reactants are consumed.
The Nernst equation is only applicable under standard conditions, and the cell potential is constant throughout the reaction.
The Nernst equation can only be used for electrolytic cells, and cell potential increases with increasing temperature.
The Nernst equation determines the equilibrium constant, and cell potential increases with decreasing concentration of products.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The Nernst equation shows how the cell potential changes with concentration, and as reactants are consumed in a galvanic cell, the potential typically decreases.
