### Chemistry Problem: Equilibrium Constant Calculation

---

#### Problem Statement:
**What is the value of the equilibrium constant \( K \) when the following redox reaction takes place at 727°C?**

\[
\text{Mn (s) + Sn}^{2+} \text{(aq) } \rightarrow \text{Mn}^{2+} \text{(aq) + Sn (s)}
\]

#### Choices:
- (A) \( 2.55 \times 10^{13} \)
- (B) \( 2.76 \times 10^{6} \)
- (C) \( 7.62 \times 10^{3} \)
- (D) \( 5.23 \times 10^{15} \)
- (E) \( 3.62 \times 10^{-19} \)

---

#### Helpful Hint:
The boxed section on the page provides a useful formula for this type of calculation:

**Equation Suggested:**

\[
E_{\text{cell}} = \frac{RT}{nF} \ln K
\]

This formula may be more convenient than what you might have on your note sheet.

Where:
- \( E_{\text{cell}} \) is the cell potential.
- \( R \) is the gas constant.
- \( T \) is the temperature in Kelvin.
- \( n \) is the number of moles of electrons transferred.
- \( F \) is the Faraday constant.
- \( K \) is the equilibrium constant.

---

### Explanation:
To use the suggested equation effectively, you will need to know the values for \( E_{\text{cell}} \), \( R \), \( T \), \( n \), and \( F \). Detailed steps are often provided in your classroom materials or textbooks, which will aid in solving for \( K \).

#### Notes:
- \( R \) (Universal Gas Constant) = 8.314 J/(mol·K)
- \( F \) (Faraday Constant) = 96485 C/mol
- \( T \) = Temperature in Kelvin
  - To convert Celsius to Kelvin, add 273.15 to the Celsius temperature.
  
Given the temperature at 727°C, the conversion to Kelvin is:
\[
727 + 273.15 = 1000.15 \text{ K}
\]
