Question

The equilibrium constant for the reaction will be:
$C u (s) + C u^{2 +} (a q .) ⇌ 2 C u^{+} (a q .)$
$E_{C u^{2 +} / C u}^{\circ} = 0.34 V E_{C u^{2 +} / C u^{+}}^{\circ} = 0.15 V$
(Given: $log 3.72 = 0.571$ )

Solution

The correct option is A $3.72 \times 10^{- 6}$
$l n K$ = $\frac{n E}{0.0591}$
$n = 2$
$E$ = $- 0.19$
$l n K$ = $\frac{2 \times - 0.19}{0.0591}$
$K = 3.72 \times 10^{- 6}$
A is correct answer
