Equation (12.10) is known as the Nernst equation, where R is the gas constant (8.314 J mol K ), T the temperature in Kelvin, Q the reaction quotient as defined in Eq. (12.8), T the Faraday constant (9.65 x 10" C mol ) and n being the number of electrons involved during the oxido-reduction reaction. By using log (to the base 10) instead of the natural logarithm, replacing the variables with their numerical values and fixing the temperature at 25 °C (298 K), the Nernst equation becomes ...

The constant k includes all constant quantities, including the Faraday constant, and also takes account of the conditions for spherical diffusion. In 1935, it was calculated by Ij.covic to have the numerical value 0.708. 

During the passage of electric current in an electrolyte, the various ions in solution carry different proportions of the current. The numerical value of each fraction is called the transference number of the associated ion. Techniques for determining these numbers were worked out by J. W. Hittorf (1853, 1856, 1858, 1859). In a simple electrode-electrolyte system of two silver electrodes in contact with silver nitrate solution, the following reactions occur with passage of current Per faraday passed, the electrode reaction at the anode is... 

E = Faraday constant). The equilibrium potential E is dependent on the temperature and on the concentrations (activities) of the oxidized and reduced species of the reactants according to the Nemst equation (see Chapter 1). In practice, electroorganic conversions mostly are not simple reversible reactions. Often, they will include, for example, energy-rich intermediates, complicated reaction mechanisms, and irreversible steps. In this case, it is difficult to define E and it has only poor practical relevance. Then, a suitable value of the redox potential is used as a base for the design of an electroorganic synthesis. It can be estimated from measurements of the peak potential in cyclovoltammetry or of the half-wave potential in polarography (see Chapter 1). Usually, a common RE such as the calomel electrode is applied (see Sect. 2.5.1.6.1). Numerous literature data are available, for example, in [5b, 8, 9]. 

In 1812 the English physicist Michael Faraday made a discovery, which has significantly influenced the development of all mankind. Having made a real conducting contour, confined to a surface S, he established that by changing the flux (5.1.34) an electric current appeared in the circuit. By numerous experiments, Faraday established that current value does not depend on the way the flux changes but on the speed of this change. The mathematical form of Faraday s law is extraordinary simple ...
