The correct Answer is:
To calculate the standard cell potential \( E_{\text{cell}}^\Theta \) for the given cell reaction: \[ A (s) + 2 B^{+} (aq) \rightarrow A^{2+} (aq) + 2 B(s) \] with an equilibrium constant \( K = 1 \times 10^{4} \), we can use the relationship between the standard cell potential and the equilibrium constant, which is derived from the Nernst equation. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reaction and Its Components**: - The reaction involves the conversion of solid \( A \) to \( A^{2+} \) ions and the reduction of \( B^{+} \) ions to solid \( B \). - The oxidation state of \( A \) changes from 0 (in \( A \)) to +2 (in \( A^{2+} \)), indicating that \( A \) loses 2 electrons. 2. **Determine the Number of Electrons Transferred (n)**: - From the reaction, we see that \( A \) is oxidized to \( A^{2+} \), which involves the loss of 2 electrons. - Thus, \( n = 2 \). 3. **Use the Relationship Between \( E_{\text{cell}}^\Theta \) and \( K \)**: - The relationship is given by: \[ E_{\text{cell}}^\Theta = \frac{0.0591}{n} \log K \] - Here, \( K = 1 \times 10^{4} \) and \( n = 2 \). 4. **Calculate \( \log K \)**: - Calculate \( \log(1 \times 10^{4}) \): \[ \log(1 \times 10^{4}) = 4 \] 5. **Substitute Values into the Equation**: - Now substitute \( n \) and \( \log K \) into the equation: \[ E_{\text{cell}}^\Theta = \frac{0.0591}{2} \times 4 \] 6. **Perform the Calculation**: - Calculate: \[ E_{\text{cell}}^\Theta = \frac{0.0591 \times 4}{2} = \frac{0.2364}{2} = 0.1182 \text{ V} \] 7. **Final Answer**: - Rounding to three significant figures, we get: \[ E_{\text{cell}}^\Theta \approx 0.118 \text{ V} \] ### Summary: The standard cell potential \( E_{\text{cell}}^\Theta \) for the given reaction is approximately **0.118 V**.
