The correct Answer is:
To calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction: \[ 3 \text{Sn}(s) + 2 \text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-} + 28 \text{H}^+ \rightarrow 3 \text{Sn}^{+4} + 4 \text{Cr}^{3+} + 14 \text{H}_2\text{O} \] we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the half-reactions and their standard reduction potentials. 1. **Oxidation of Sn:** - \( \text{Sn}(s) \rightarrow \text{Sn}^{2+} + 2e^- \) (E° = 0.136 V) - \( \text{Sn}^{2+} \rightarrow \text{Sn}^{4+} + 2e^- \) (E° = -0.154 V) 2. **Reduction of \( \text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-} \):** - \( \text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-} + 14 \text{H}^+ + 6e^- \rightarrow 2 \text{Cr}^{3+} + 7 \text{H}_2\text{O} \) (E° = 1.33 V) ### Step 2: Calculate the overall standard cell potential (E°cell). To find the overall standard cell potential, we first need to combine the oxidation and reduction half-reactions. #### Calculate E° for the oxidation of Sn to Sn4+: - The overall oxidation of Sn involves 4 electrons: \[ 3 \text{Sn}(s) \rightarrow 3 \text{Sn}^{4+} + 12e^- \] - The combined standard reduction potential (E°) for Sn is calculated using the two half-reactions: \[ E_3 = \frac{n_1 E_1 + n_2 E_2}{n_1 + n_2} \] where \( n_1 = 2 \) (for Sn to Sn2+) and \( n_2 = 2 \) (for Sn2+ to Sn4+). Plugging in the values: \[ E_3 = \frac{2(0.136) + 2(-0.154)}{2 + 2} = \frac{0.272 - 0.308}{4} = \frac{-0.036}{4} = -0.009 \, \text{V} \] #### Calculate E°cell: - The overall cell potential is given by: \[ E°_{cell} = E°_{cathode} - E°_{anode} \] Here, the cathode is the reduction of \( \text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-} \) (E° = 1.33 V) and the anode is the oxidation of Sn (E° = -0.009 V). Therefore: \[ E°_{cell} = 1.33 - (-0.009) = 1.33 + 0.009 = 1.339 \, \text{V} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the equilibrium constant (K). Using the Nernst equation at equilibrium: \[ E°_{cell} = -\frac{0.0591}{n} \log K \] where \( n \) is the number of moles of electrons transferred in the balanced equation. Here, \( n = 12 \) (6 electrons per \( \text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-} \) and 2 moles of \( \text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-} \)). Substituting the values: \[ 1.339 = -\frac{0.0591}{12} \log K \] Rearranging gives: \[ \log K = -\frac{1.339 \times 12}{0.0591} \] Calculating: \[ \log K = -\frac{16.068}{0.0591} \approx -271.5 \] Thus, \[ K \approx 10^{-271.5} \approx 10^{268} \] ### Final Answer: The equilibrium constant \( K \) for the reaction is approximately \( 10^{268} \). ---
