JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2019 - 11th January Evening Slot - No. 11)

Given the equilibrium constant:

KC of the reaction :

Cu(s) + 2Ag+ (aq) $$ \to $$ Cu2+ (aq) + 2Ag(s) is

10 $$ \times $$ 1015, calculate the E$$_{cell}^0$$ of this reaciton at 298 K

[2.303 $${{RT} \over F}$$ at 298 K = 0.059V]
0.4736 mV
0.04736 V
0.4736 V
0.04736 mV

Explanation

We know,

$$\Delta $$Go = -RTln(KC) ....(1)

Also $$\Delta $$Go = -nF$$E_{cell}^o$$ ....(2)

$$ \therefore $$ -nF$$E_{cell}^o$$ = -RTln(KC)

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$E_{cell}^o$$ = $${{RT} \over {nF}}\ln \left( {{K_C}} \right)$$

= $$2.303{{RT} \over {nF}}\log \left( {{K_C}} \right)$$

= $${{0.059} \over 2}\log \left( {10 \times {{10}^{15}}} \right)$$

( n = no of electron transferred = 2 )

= 0.059 $$ \times $$ $${{16} \over 2}$$

= 0.059 $$ \times $$ 8

= 0.472 V
