What is Nernst Equation?
The Nernst equation provides a relation between the cell potential of an
electrochemical cell, the standard cell potential, temperature, and the reaction
quotient. Even under non-standard conditions, the cell potentials of
electrochemical cells can be determined with the help of the Nernst equation.
The Nernst equation is often used to calculate the cell potential of an
electrochemical cell at any given temperature, pressure, and reactant
concentration. The equation was introduced by a German chemist named
Walther Hermann Nernst.

E° = 0.76V
n=2
F = 96500 C/mole
[Mn+] = 2 M
R =8.314 J/K mole
T =300 K
Substituting the given values in Nernst equation we get,
EZn2+/Zn = 0.76 – [(2.303×8.314×300)/(2×96500)] × log 1/2 = 0.76 – [0.0298
× (-0.301)]
= 0.76 + 0.009 = 0.769V
Therefore, the potential of a 2M solution at 300K is 0.769V.
