At equilibrium, E = 0 and Q = K. Therefore
Or at standard temperature,
We have thus related the standard electrode potential and the equilibrium constant of a redox reaction.

“The whole point of Camp is to dethrone the serious. Camp is playful, anti-serious. More precisely, Camp involves a new, more complex relation to the serious. One can be serious about the frivolous, frivolous about the serious.”

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“They who feel cannot keep their minds in the equilibrium of a pair of scales: fear and hope have no equiponderant weights.”
