This equation is derived from the "Nernst Equation". At equilibrium the net Ecell (electromotive force) of a fuel cell become zero, and thus the standard electrode potential can be directly related to the equilibrium constant of the reaction. This standard electrode potential is termed as the nernst potential or the reversal potential in the case of biological membrane. This is also termed as the equilibrium potential if it is a single ion system. In case you need to calculate nernst equation use this : http://calistry.org/calculate/nernstEquation
