The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to calculate the standard cell potential \( E^\circ_{\text{cell}} \) for the given reaction using the relationship between the equilibrium constant \( K_c \) and the standard cell potential. Here's a step-by-step breakdown of the solution: ### Step 1: Write the Nernst Equation The Nernst equation relates the standard cell potential to the equilibrium constant: \[ E_{\text{cell}} = E^\circ_{\text{cell}} - \frac{0.0591}{n} \log K_c \] At equilibrium, \( E_{\text{cell}} = 0 \). Therefore, we can set the equation to zero: \[ 0 = E^\circ_{\text{cell}} - \frac{0.0591}{n} \log K_c \] Rearranging gives: \[ E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = \frac{0.0591}{n} \log K_c \] ### Step 2: Identify the Reaction and Calculate \( n \) The reaction given is: \[ A(s) + 2B^+ \rightleftharpoons A^{2+} + 2B(s) \] In this reaction, \( A \) is oxidized to \( A^{2+} \), and \( B^+ \) is reduced to \( B \). To find \( n \), we need to determine the number of electrons transferred in the reaction: - \( A \) loses 2 electrons to become \( A^{2+} \). - \( 2B^+ \) gains 2 electrons to become \( 2B \). Thus, the total number of electrons transferred \( n \) is 2. ### Step 3: Substitute Values into the Equation Now we can substitute \( n \) and \( K_c \) into the equation. Given \( K_c = 10^{14} \): \[ E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = \frac{0.0591}{2} \log(10^{14}) \] ### Step 4: Calculate \( \log(10^{14}) \) Using the properties of logarithms: \[ \log(10^{14}) = 14 \] ### Step 5: Substitute and Calculate \( E^\circ_{\text{cell}} \) Now substituting back into the equation: \[ E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = \frac{0.0591}{2} \times 14 \] Calculating this gives: \[ E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = 0.0591 \times 7 = 0.413 \text{ volts} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the standard cell potential \( E^\circ_{\text{cell}} \) is: \[ \boxed{0.413 \text{ volts}} \]
