Nemst, Walter

Fritz Haber and Walter Nemst worked on this problem early in the twentieth century, and they had to develop the ideas of thermodynamic equilihtium to figure out how to accomplish this in a practical reactor. Equilibrium in the preceding reaction can be written as...

This general equation was derived during early 20th century by a German chemist named Walter Nernst. Nemst won the Nobel Prize in 1920 for his contributions to the field of physical chemistry. We use a simplified form of the Nernst equation to show the relationship between the concentrations of oxidized and reduced components and the Eh and pH values of a chemical system (remember that biological systems are also chemical systems) ... 

This equation characterizes real voltage between elements of redox-couples and is usually called the Nemst equation after its author Walter Hermann Nernst (1864-1941). 

In 1889, Herman Walter Nemst measured the ion content in a solution as a function of the electrode potential. Shortly thereafter, a visual tool was developed by S. P. L. Sorensen who created a colorimetric assay. With this, he defined pH as the logarithmic concentration of the hydrogen ion. pH means the power of hydrogen and quantifies the power of hydrogen on a scale from 0 (very acidic) to 14 (very basic) based on the autodissociation of water.

Nernst effect An effect in which a temperature gradient along an electric conductor or semiconductor placed in a perpendicular magnetic field, causes a potential difference to develop in the third perpendicular direction between opposite edges of the conductor. This effect, an analogue of the Hall effect, was discovered in 1886 by the German physicist Walter Nemst (1864-1941).
