The correct Answer is:
To find the equilibrium constant \( K_{eq} \) for the reaction \[ \text{Zn(s)} + 2\text{Ag}^+(aq) \rightleftharpoons \text{Zn}^{2+}(aq) + 2\text{Ag(s)} \] with a given standard cell potential \( E^\circ = 1.50 \, \text{V} \) at 298 K, we can use the Nernst equation and the relationship between the standard cell potential and the equilibrium constant. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the reaction and the number of electrons transferred (N)**: - The reaction involves the oxidation of Zn to Zn²⁺ and the reduction of Ag⁺ to Ag. - Each Zn atom loses 2 electrons, so \( N = 2 \). 2. **Use the Nernst equation at equilibrium**: - At equilibrium, the cell potential \( E_{cell} \) is 0 V. The Nernst equation simplifies to: \[ 0 = E^\circ - \frac{0.0591}{N} \log K_{eq} \] Rearranging gives: \[ E^\circ = \frac{0.0591}{N} \log K_{eq} \] 3. **Substitute the known values**: - Substitute \( E^\circ = 1.50 \, \text{V} \) and \( N = 2 \): \[ 1.50 = \frac{0.0591}{2} \log K_{eq} \] 4. **Solve for \( \log K_{eq} \)**: - Multiply both sides by 2: \[ 3.00 = 0.0591 \log K_{eq} \] - Divide by 0.0591: \[ \log K_{eq} = \frac{3.00}{0.0591} \approx 50.8 \] 5. **Calculate \( K_{eq} \)**: - Convert from logarithmic form to exponential form: \[ K_{eq} = 10^{50.8} \] 6. **Final Calculation**: - Using a calculator, we find: \[ K_{eq} \approx 6.31 \times 10^{50} \] ### Final Answer: \[ K_{eq} \approx 6.31 \times 10^{50} \]
