Nernst Equation
« on: January 14, 2006, 04:49:34 PM »
For standard temperatures, E = Estandard -0.0591/n

How do you get 0.0591?       E = Estandard = RT/nF.....R = 8.31, F = 96 485, T = 298....my math can't take
                                                                                                                            me there

Take a look at both equations - one calls for ln, second for log. You are probably missing conversion factor.

I looked it up further, ln(x) = 2.303log(x), that is that conversion factor we were missing. Thanks
