4. What is the relationship between E° and the equilibrium constant, K?
A certain metal M forms a soluble nitrate salt M (NO3)2. Suppose the left half cell of a galvanic cell apparatus is filled with a 3.00 M solution of M (NO3), and the right half cell with a 30.0 mM solution of the same substance. Electrodes made of M are dipped into both solutions and a voltmeter is connected between them. The temperature of the apparatus is held constant at 20.0 °C. Which electrode will be positive? O left O right What voltage will the voltmeter show? Assume its positive lead is connected to the positive electrode. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if necessary, and round it to 2 significant digits. 0
