For a redox reaction,$Oxi + ne^- \rightarrow Red$,what is the correct form of the Nernst equation?

  • A
    $E_{cell} = E_{cell}^\circ + \frac{RT}{nF} \ln \frac{[Red]}{[Oxi]}$
  • B
    $E_{cell} = E_{cell}^\circ - \frac{RT}{nF} \ln \frac{[Red]}{[Oxi]}$
  • C
    $E_{cell} = E_{cell}^\circ - \frac{RT}{nF} \ln \frac{[Oxi]}{[Red]}$
  • D
    $E_{cell} = E_{cell}^\circ + \frac{RT}{nF} \ln \frac{[Oxi]}{[Red]}$
