Reduction Potential Calculator

Calculate the reduction potential using the Nernst Equation:
E=ERTnFlnQ

* Enter the standard reduction potential E (V), number of electrons n, reaction quotient Q, and temperature T (K).

Step 1: Enter Parameters

Example: 0.80 V

Example: 2

Example: 10

Example: 298.15 K (25°C)

Derived Formula: E=ERTnFlnQ


Practical Example:
For E=0.80V, n=2, Q=10, and T=298.15K:
RTF0.0257V so RTnF0.01286V.
Then, E0.800.01286ln(10)0.800.02960.7704V.
