How do you calculate the EMF of a galvanic cell?
Answer (1)
The EMF of a galvanic cell can be calculated using the Nernst equation, which relates the cell potential to the concentration of reactants and products.
The general form of the equation is:
E = E° - (RT/nF) ln Q
were,
- E° is the standard cell potential
- R is the universal gas constant
- T is the temperature in Kelvin
- n is the number of moles of electrons exchanged
-
F is Faraday's constant.
