Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In this equation, ΔG° stands for the standard Gibbs free energy of a reaction, n is the number of moles of electrons that are transferred in the reaction, F stands for the Faraday constant (96,485.3 Coulombs/mole), and E° is the standard electrochemical potential. All of these units are consistent, since ΔG° is in Joules, n is in moles, F is in Coulombs/mole, and E° is in volts.
