48. ox, with pH are neglected. (Note that these variations are already taken into account via eq 8.) In any case, we find that the additional term appears only when electrochemical potentials are evaluated against a reference electrode that is reversible with respect to protons. The term is absent when electrode potentials are evaluated versus a pH-independent reference such as saturated calomel, Ag/AgCl, ferrocene/ferrocenium, silver wire pseudo reference, etc.
