The standard cell potential $E^o$ for the reaction $aA + bB \to cC + dD$ is related to the equilibrium constant $K_c$ by the expression:

  • A
    $E^o = \frac{RT}{nF} \ln K_c$
  • B
    $E^o = -\frac{RT}{nF} \ln K_c$
  • C
    $E^o = \frac{nF}{RT} \ln K_c$
  • D
    $E^o = -\frac{nF}{RT} \ln K_c$
