Determination of the equilibrium constan...

Determination of the equilibrium constant (K) of the reaction occurring in a galvanic cell. Given : `E^(@)` of the cathode and the anode, temperature.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The required equation: `logK.(nFE_("cell")^(@))/(2.303RT)`
(1) Calculate `E_("cell")^(@)` from the given `E^(@)` values of the cathode & the anode `[E_("cell")=(E_("cathode")^(@)-E_("anode")^(@))]`. (2) Deter - mine n from the cell reaction. (3) To calculate K, put the value of `E_("cell")^(@)`, n, T, R & F into the above equation.
