###### FREE Expert Solution

The reaction quotient, Q, can be calculated like an equilibrium constant with the formula shown below:

$\overline{){\mathbf{Q}}{\mathbf{=}}\frac{\mathbf{products}}{\mathbf{reactants}}}$

Conversion from °C to K

$\overline{){\mathbf{K}}{\mathbf{=}}{\mathbf{°}}{\mathbf{C}}{\mathbf{+}}{\mathbf{273}}}$

Standard cell potential

$\overline{){\mathbf{E}}{{\mathbf{°}}}_{{\mathbf{cell}}}{\mathbf{=}}{\mathbf{E}}{{\mathbf{°}}}_{{\mathbf{cathode}}}{\mathbf{-}}{\mathbf{E}}{{\mathbf{°}}}_{{\mathbf{anode}}}}$
