For a cell in which the net cell reaction involving n electrons is,
The Nernst equation is written as,
Where, .
The is called the standard cell potential.
or
At 298 K, above eq. can be written as,
or
It may be noted here, that the concentrations of A, B, C and D referred in the eqs. are the concentrations at the time the cell emf is measured.
