How this calculator works
Enter standard potential (v), electrons transferred, reaction quotient, temperature (k). CalcStack applies the displayed formula and reports each intermediate planning value with the units shown.
Formula / method
E = E° − RT ÷ nF × ln(Q)
Worked example
A 1.1 V two-electron cell with Q=10 at 298.15 K has E about 1.0704 V.
Assumptions and limitations
Activities are represented by the entered reaction quotient and temperature is uniform.
Activity coefficients, liquid junction potentials and nonideal electrodes are excluded.
