Question

For a cell involving one electron, E°cell =0.59 V at 298 K, the equilibrium constant for the cell reaction is

 [Given that 2.303RT¯=0.059 V atT=298 K ]

Moderate
Solution

According to Nernst equation, Ecell=Ecell0.059nlogQc 

At equilibrium Ecell=0,Qc=Kc

Ecell=0.059nlogKc0.59=0.0591logKc

Kc=antilog 10Kc=1×1010
