# chemistry-nernst-potential

`station__chemistry__chemistry-nernst-potential` · external (needs EXECUTION_BACKEND_URL configured) · domain `chemistry` · pv-relevance `pv-adjacent`

Calculate Nernst potential (dynamic threshold). PV confidence: 0.80

> **Note:** This tool routes through an external execution backend. If `EXECUTION_BACKEND_URL` is unset on the server, calls return JSON-RPC error `-32603 "Tool execution backend not configured"`. Tools with `backend: native` execute in-process and are always callable.

## Agent metadata

- `idempotent`: unknown
- `read_only`: unknown
- `expected_latency_ms`: unknown (not yet contract-tested)
- `cost_tokens_estimate`: unknown

## Input schema

- `e_standard` *number* (required) — Standard potential (E⁰) in volts
- `n_electrons` *number* (required) — Number of electrons transferred
- `q` *number* (required) — Reaction quotient Q = [products]/[reactants]
- `temperature_k` *number* (required) — Temperature in Kelvin
