Question
CBSEENCH12006129

Calculate the equilibrium constant of the reaction
Cu(s)+2Ag+(aq)   Cu2+(aq) + 2Ag(s)
given : E0 =0.46 temperture 250

Solution
we have given that:
E° = + 0.46 V
E° =RTnFlnKlnK =nFE°RT

lnk =2 x96500 x0.46/0.059

K=antilognE°0.059
K=antilog2×0.460.059
K = antilog(15.5932)K = 3.92 × 1015.
