• Resumen

  • The reaction Gibbs energy is shown to be an intensive quantity with unitsof joules per mol. Many textbooks report it with units of joules. This results in confusion when cell potentials are used to calculate reaction Gibbs energy. The symbol n which appears in the Nernst equation is dimensionless.
