Formulas and Key Relations

Nernst Equation

General Nernst equation for a cell

E_cell = E°_cell – (RT/nF) ln Q

Conductance of Electrolytic Solutions

Resistance (R) of a conductor

R = ρl/A (in ohms, Ω); where ρ = resistivity, l = length, A = cross-section area.

Conductance (G) = 1/R = κA/l. SI unit: Siemens (S) or Ω⁻¹.

Variation of Molar Conductivity and Kohlrausch's Law

STRONG ELECTROLYTES (e.g., NaCl, KCl, HCl)

Λm increases SLOWLY with dilution. Debye-Hückel-Onsager equation: Λm = Λ°m – A√c (Debye-Hückel-Onsager or Kohlrausch equation).

Plot of Λm vs √c is a straight line for strong electrolytes. Intercept = Λ°m, Slope = –A.

Key relations

The Nernst equation relates electrode potential to concentration: E = E° - (RT/nF)ln(Q) or E = E° - (0.059/n)log(Q) at 298K.
