Nernst equation and voltage?
« on: March 26, 2018, 06:31:05 PM »
The question states: Assuming your diluted solution was .1M use the nernst equation to calculate a new voltage for the diluted porous cup.

Nernst Equation: E = Eºcell - ((0.0592logQ)/n)
where E is the cell potential and Q is the reaction quotient and n is number of electrons transferred.

The Eºcell is equal to 1.108 V and n is 6 (given by lab data) but I'm confused as to how to get the reaction quotient Q if the only information is that the solution is .1 M.
