Chapter 18, Problem 118AE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The equilibrium constant should be calculated for the given reaction.

Concept introduction:

The Nernst equation is tells that the reduction potential of an electrochemical reaction to the standard electrode potential, temperature, and activities of the chemical species undergoing reduction and oxidation

The Nernst equation is given below,

${\text{E}}_{\text{cell}}^{\text{0}}\text{ = }\frac{\text{0}\text{.0592}\text{V}}{\text{n }}\text{× log K}$

Therefore,

At a given temperaturethe relationship between the quantities of products and reactants presentat equilibrium in a reversible chemical reaction is expressed in terms of number.

$\text{log K = }\frac{{\text{n × E}}_{\text{cell}}^{\text{0}}}{\text{0}\text{.0592}\text{V}}$
