Problem

Starting from the fundamental relation that links cell potential, temperature, and reaction quotient, derive an expression for the change in cell potential

\Delta E = E_{2} - E_{1}

when the temperature is raised from

T_{1}

T_{2}

(with

T_{2} > T_{1}

) while the reaction quotient remains constant. Express

\Delta E

in terms of

R

n

F

\ln Q

T_{1}

, and

T_{2}
