− 7.79:, , *log ([&)] ‘ [&)]’)= − 7.79:, , *log ([&)] ‘ [&)]’)= Which can be simplified using properties of logs: <=>>=− 7.79:, , *log ([&)] ‘ [&)]’)= − 7.79:, , [(2log([H+])-(2log([H+])]
Pulling out a -2 we end up with a simplified equation in terms of the pH in each half reaction
<=>>= ?7.79:,(?) , [-log([H+])-(-log([H+])]= +0.0592*(pH-pH) =0.0592*DpH = +0.0592*DpH
Using the new Nernst equation as derived here, calculate the cell potential for this electrochemical cell.
