Use standard reduction potentials to calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction:
Hg²*(aq) + Ni(s) Hg(1) +
- Ni²*(aq)
Hint: Carry at least 5 significant figures during intermediate calculations to avoid round off error when taking the antilogarithm.
Equilibrium constant:
AG° for this reaction would be
than zero.
