JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2023 - 29th January Evening Shift - No. 17)

The equilibrium constant for the reaction

$$\mathrm{Zn(s)+Sn^{2+}(aq)}$$ $$\rightleftharpoons$$ $$\mathrm{Zn^{2+}(aq)+Sn(s)}$$ is $$1\times10^{20}$$ at 298 K. The magnitude of standard electrode potential of $$\mathrm{Sn/Sn^{2+}}$$ if $$\mathrm{E_{Z{n^{2 + }}/Zn}^\Theta = - 0.76~V}$$ is __________ $$\times 10^{-2}$$ V. (Nearest integer)

Given : $$\mathrm{\frac{2.303RT}{F}=0.059~V}$$

Answer
17

Explanation

$$E_{cell}^o = {{2.303\,RT} \over {2F}}\log k$$

$$E_{cell}^o = {{0.059} \over 2}\log ({10^{20}})$$

$$E_{Z{n^{2 + }}/Zn}^o + 0.76 = 0.59$$

$$E_{Z{n^{2 + }}/Zn}^o = 0.59 - 0.76$$

$$E_{Zn/Z{n^{2 + }}}^o = 0.17\,V$$
