Solution

The correct option is D 1037
GivenData: 1)ElectrodePotential (E)= 1.10V
2) Temperature (T)=25C=400K
3) n =no of moles of electrolyte=2

For equilibrium constant by Nernsts equation we have,

K= antilog [n(E)0.0591]

= antilog [2×1.100.0591]

= 1.67 ×10 37

Hence the correct option is 'B'.
