In the Nernst equation E = E° − (0.059/n) log Q at 298 K, n represents the number of:

Answer: electrons transferred.

  • A ions in solution
  • B electrons transferred
  • C protons released
  • D molecules reacting

Correct answer: B. electrons transferred

Explanation: n is the number of moles of electrons transferred in the balanced cell reaction.
