Nernst equation
Ecell = Ecell°-(RT/nF)lnQ
How do u find the equilibrium constant in a battery from the standard potential?
lnK=(nFEcell°)/RT
What type of chemical reaction would you use for finding the solubility product and why?
Figure out what is the dissolution equation and solve for that k. This is because by definition solubility is off of how much a solid dissolves/disassociates
In electrolysis, how do u determine whether oxygen will form from the electrolysis with water or if the byproduct will form from the electrolysis of the impure substance?
Compare their ecell voltages. The potential will tell u which one favors oxidation/reduction
How could u figure out how much moles of electrons a process uses from the amps and time the process has occured?
mol e-=I*t/F, where I is in ampere and t is in seconds, f is faradays constant
The Gibbs free energy is equivalent to what and why?
Free energy = -nFEcell. This is because in a reversible non expansion process (electrical work), the free energy is equal to the work process. Remember from physics that work is -qdV for electronics, so if dV is ecell, and nF is the charge, then you get that equation
