Tollen reagent is used for the detection of aldehydes. When a solution of `AgNO_(3)` is added to glucose with `NH_(4)OH`, then gluconic acid is formed.

`2Ag^(o+)+C_(6)H^(12)O_(6)+H_(2)O rarr 2Ag^(s)+C_(6)H_(12)O_(7)+2H^(o+)` Find `lnK` of this reaction.

A

`55.6`

B

`29.6`

C

`66`

D

`58.35`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`E_(cell)^(Theta) = E_(R)^(Theta) - E_(L)^(Theta)`
`= 0.8 - 0.05`
`= 0.75 V`
`Delta G_(cell)^(Theta) = - 2 FE_(cell)^(Theta)`
`= - RT ln K`
`ln K = (2F)/(RT) xx 0.75`
`= 2 xx 38.9 xx 0.75`
`= 58.35`
