For the electrode reaction M^ n+ (aq) + ne^- → M(s), the Nernst equation is given by

MHT CET Chemistry question

For the electrode reaction M(aq) + ne → M(s), the Nernst equation is given by

Answer: (B)

For the reduction M + ne → M, Q = [M]/[M] = 1/[M] (solid metal has unit activity), so E = E - (RT/nF) ln (1/[M]) = E
