equilibrium electrode potential

symbol: $E_{\rm{eq}}$
synonyms: Nernst potential, reversible potential
https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.09064
Potential of an electrode when no electric current flows through the cell and all local charge transfer equilibria across phase boundaries that are represented in the cell diagram (except at possible electrolyte-electrolyte junctions) and local chemical equilibria are established.
Notes:
  1. Temperature and activities of relevant species must be specified.
  2. \(E_{\rm{eq}}\) is related to the standard electrode potential by the Nernst equation.
