Nernst Equations for Typical Electrodes

Following is a list of the most common types of electrodes along with their Nemst equations. 

Metal electrodes, for example, Cu +(aq) + 2js = Cu(s), with the electrode potential as 

The standard electrode potentials of these electrodes (half-reactions) can be found in Table 4.1. Note that flH2o(i) in Equation 4.28 is very close to 1 in dilute solution. However, in high concentrated solutions, flH20(i) can significantly deviate from 1, and this should be taken into account in calculating the electrode potential.
