  Write the nernst equation for
  
  Zn/ZnCl2 (aq, 0.1M)
  
  then calculate the potenial of the electrode.
  
  haha dont know how to form. help pls

  nerst equation:
  
  E = E(under standard conditions) - (RT/nF) ln Q
  
  where R = molar gas constant, T = temperature in Kelvins, n = no of electrons involved in the reaction, F = Faraday's constant, Q is the reacion quotient (similar to equilibrium constant).
