Calculate the equilibrium constant of the reaction: Fe+2(aq)+Ag+(aq)→Fe+3(aq)+Ag(s)
Given : E∘Ag+/Ag=0.8 VE∘Fe+3/Fe+2=0.77 V2.303RTF=0.06 V√10=3.16
Open in App
Solution
E∘cell=Ered−Eoxd ⇒E∘cell=0.8−0.77=0.03V Fe+2(aq)+Ag+(aq)→Fe+3(aq)+Ag(s)
The number of electrons involved here is 1.
We know, Eocell=0.059nlogKeq ⇒Keq=10⎛⎝nE∘0.06⎞⎠=10⎛⎝0.030.06⎞⎠=101/2=3.16
