The correct Answer is:
To find the equilibrium constant for the cell reaction given the EMF of the cell, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Information:** - EMF of the cell (E_cell) = 0.2905 V - Concentration of Zn²⁺ = 0.01 M - Concentration of Fe²⁺ = 0.001 M - Temperature (T) = 298 K 2. **Use the Nernst Equation:** The Nernst equation relates the cell potential (E_cell) to the standard cell potential (E°_cell) and the concentrations of the reactants and products: \[ E_{cell} = E^{\circ}_{cell} - \frac{0.059}{n} \log \left( \frac{[Zn^{2+}]}{[Fe^{2+}]} \right) \] where \( n \) is the number of moles of electrons transferred in the reaction. For the reaction between Zn and Fe²⁺, \( n = 2 \). 3. **Substitute Known Values into the Nernst Equation:** \[ 0.2905 = E^{\circ}_{cell} - \frac{0.059}{2} \log \left( \frac{0.01}{0.001} \right) \] 4. **Calculate the Logarithm:** \[ \log \left( \frac{0.01}{0.001} \right) = \log(10) = 1 \] 5. **Substitute the Logarithm Value:** \[ 0.2905 = E^{\circ}_{cell} - \frac{0.059}{2} \cdot 1 \] \[ 0.2905 = E^{\circ}_{cell} - 0.0295 \] 6. **Solve for E°_cell:** \[ E^{\circ}_{cell} = 0.2905 + 0.0295 = 0.32 \, V \] 7. **Determine the Equilibrium Constant (K_eq):** At equilibrium, E_cell = 0. Thus, we set up the equation: \[ 0 = E^{\circ}_{cell} - \frac{0.059}{n} \log(K_{eq}) \] \[ 0 = 0.32 - \frac{0.059}{2} \log(K_{eq}) \] 8. **Rearranging the Equation:** \[ \frac{0.059}{2} \log(K_{eq}) = 0.32 \] \[ \log(K_{eq}) = \frac{0.32 \times 2}{0.059} \] \[ \log(K_{eq}) = \frac{0.64}{0.059} \approx 10.84 \] 9. **Calculate K_eq:** \[ K_{eq} = 10^{10.84} \] ### Final Answer: The value of the equilibrium constant for the cell reaction is approximately \( K_{eq} \approx 10^{10.84} \).
