Question on the calculation of equlibrium constant
« on: May 10, 2009, 12:28:55 AM »
THe question was that calculation of equlibrium constant for
2H2+O2
2 H2O
Give the potential of 4H+ + 4 e -> 2H2 is 0.0000V
and the potential of O2 + 4H+ + 4e -> 2H2O  is 1.229 V
I know that we should start from Ecell =0  at equlibrium
and Eright = Eleft
yet, i don't know how to use the nerst equation to relate with equlitbium constant K
Help give me a help

What about Gibbs Free energy?

:delta:G=-RTlnK
 :delta:G can be related to potential?
