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 cell potential. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reaction**: The reaction is given as: \[ A(s) + 2B^{+} \rightarrow A^{2+} + 2B \] 2. **Determine the Number of Electrons Transferred (n)**: In this reaction, the oxidation state of \( A \) changes from 0 to +2, indicating that 2 electrons are lost. The \( B^{+} \) ions are reduced to \( B \), also involving 2 electrons. Therefore, the total number of electrons transferred \( n \) is: \[ n = 2 \] 3. **Use the Nernst Equation**: The relationship between the standard cell potential \( E^\circ_{\text{cell}} \) and the equilibrium constant \( K_c \) is given by: \[ E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = \frac{0.0591}{n} \log K_c \] 4. **Substitute the Known Values**: We know that \( K_c = 10^{12} \) and \( n = 2 \). Substituting these values into the equation gives: \[ E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = \frac{0.0591}{2} \log(10^{12}) \] 5. **Calculate the Logarithm**: The logarithm of \( 10^{12} \) is: \[ \log(10^{12}) = 12 \] 6. **Substitute the Logarithm Value**: Now substituting this back into the equation: \[ E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = \frac{0.0591}{2} \times 12 \] 7. **Perform the Calculation**: First, calculate \( \frac{0.0591}{2} \): \[ \frac{0.0591}{2} = 0.02955 \] Then multiply by 12: \[ E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = 0.02955 \times 12 = 0.3546 \text{ V} \] 8. **Final Result**: Rounding to three significant figures, we get: \[ E^\circ_{\text{cell}} \approx 0.354 \text{ V} \] ### Conclusion: The standard cell potential \( E^\circ_{\text{cell}} \) for the reaction is approximately **0.354 V**.

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 cell potential. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reaction**: The reaction is given as: \[ A(s) + 2B^{+} \rightarrow A^{2+} + 2B ...
