Q.

Tollen’s reagent is used for the detection of aldehyde when a solution of  AgNO3 is added to glucose with  NH4OH, then gluconic acid is formed 

Ag++eAg                                                              E0=0.8V

C6H12O6+H2OC6H12O7+2H++2e        Eoxi0=0.05V

Ag(NH3)2++eAg(s)+2NH3                         E0=0.337V

For the following reaction 
Glucose +H2O+2Ag+KeqGluconic  acid+2Ag. Determine the value of  lnKeq

In the given reaction.  Ag+ ions reduces to Ag and Glucose is oxidizedto Gluconic acid as per the reaction
 Ag++eAg;Ered0=+0.800VandC6H12O6+H2OC6H12O6+2H++2e;Eox0 =0.05V
Gluconic acid 
Hence,  Ecell0=0.80.005=0.75V
ΔGcell0=nFE=2F×0.75=RTInK Ink=2FRT(0.75)=2×38.92×0.75=58.38
