Faraday’s constant and

Provided the reaction is, in some sense, reversible, so that equilibrium can be attained, and provided the reactants and products arc all gas-phase, solution or solid-state species with well-defined free energies, it is possible to define the free energies for all such reactions under any defined reaction conditions with respect to a standard process this is conventionally chosen to be the hydrogen evolution/oxidation process shown in (1.11). The relationship between the relative free energy of a process and the emf of a hypothetical cell with the reaction (1.11) as the cathode process is given by the expression AC = — nFE, or, for the free energy and potential under standard conditions, AG° = — nFEl where n is the number of electrons involved in the process, F is Faraday s constant and E is the emf. 

R is the ideal gas constant, T is the Kelvin temperature, n is the number of electrons transferred, F is Faraday s constant, and Q is the activity quotient. The second form, involving the log Q, is the more useful form. If you know the cell reaction, the concentrations of ions, and the E°ell, then you can calculate the actual cell potential. Another useful application of the Nernst equation is in the calculation of the concentration of one of the reactants from cell potential measurements. Knowing the actual cell potential and the E°ell, allows you to calculate Q, the activity quotient. Knowing Q and all but one of the concentrations, allows you to calculate the unknown concentration. Another application of the Nernst equation is concentration cells. A concentration cell is an electrochemical cell in which the same chemical species are used in both cell compartments, but differing in concentration. Because the half reactions are the same, the E°ell = 0.00 V. Then simply substituting the appropriate concentrations into the activity quotient allows calculation of the actual cell potential. 

In equation (18.1), E1 is the standard potential and is a constant that includes all other potentials, R is the ideal gas constant, T is the temperature, z is the charge carried by ion i to be measured and whose activity is a, F represents Faraday s constant and 2.303 is the logarithmic conversion factor. 

F[E° A/A ) — °(D/D )], and AGei = A ei 0 F is Faraday s constant and F°(X/X ) is the standard electrode potential for the X/X redox couple. In this limit, the vibrational-free energy difference between the nuclear coordinates of the excited-state free energy minimum and those of the ground-state free energy minimum,... 

R is the gas constant, T is the absolute temperature, F is the Faraday s constant, and n is the number of electrons transferred. The steady state of E for a redox-active component depends on the kinetic of the transfer of the reduction and oxidation reactions. Under normal homeostatic conditions (absence of OS), the E for 2GSH/GSSG relatively reduces because of the NADPH-coupled GSSG reductase. During periods of OS, the E becomes more oxidized. 

Here AG is the Gibbs energy of the cell reaction, z the number of charges transferred per formula unit, F Faraday s constant and E the electromotive force (emf) of the cell.
