Respuesta :

Answer:

1.7 × 10 ^42

Explanation:

Using Nernst equation

E°cell = RT/nF Inq

at equilibrium

Q=K

E°cell  = 0.0257 /n Ink= 0.0592/n log K

Fe2+(aq)+2e−→Fe(s)     E∘= −0.45 V

Ag+aq)+e−→Ag(s)         E∘= 0.80 V

Fe(s)+2Ag+(aq)→Fe2+(aq)+2Ag(s)

balance the reaction

Fe → Fe²⁺ + 2e⁻  reversing for oxidation E° = 0.45 v

2 Ag⁺ +2e⁻ → 2Ag

n = 2 moles  and K = equilibrium constant

E° cell = 0.80 + 0.45 = 1.25 V

E° cell = (0.0592 / n) log K  

substitute the value into the equations and solve for K

(1.25 × 2) / 0.0592  = log K

42.23 = log K

k = 10^ 42.23

K = 1.7 × 10 ^42

The equilibrium constant for the given reaction at 25°C is [tex]\bold {1.7 \times 10 ^{42}}[/tex].

How to calculate the equilibrium constant?

It can be calculated by the Nernst equation, at equilibrium the  

[tex]E_{cell} = \frac{R T}{n F} \ln Q[/tex]

Where,

[tex]E^0[/tex] = standard potential

R = universal gas constant

[tex]T[/tex] = temperature in kelvin

[tex]n[/tex] = ion charge (moles of electrons)

[tex]F[/tex] = Faraday constant

[tex]Q[/tex] = reaction quotient

At equilibrium, Q = K

[tex]E^o_{cell} = \frac{ 0.0592}{n } \ln k[/tex]

First, Calculate the standard cell potential,

[tex]\bold {2 Ag^+(aq) + 2 e^- \rightarrow 2 Ag(s)}[/tex]                                   [tex]E^o_{reduction} = + 0.80 \rm \ V[/tex]

[tex]\bold {Fe(s) \rightarrow Fe2+ (aq) + 2 e^-}[/tex]                                   [tex]E^o _{oxidation} = 0.45\rm \ V[/tex]

----------------------------------------------                ------------------------------

[tex]\bold {Fe(s)+2Ag^+(aq)\rightarrow Fe_2^+(aq)+2Ag(s)}[/tex]                    [tex]E^o_{cell} = + 1.25 \rm \ V[/tex]

From the balanced chemical equation, the number of moles [tex]n = 2[/tex]

Put the values in the formula,

[tex]1.25 = \frac{ 0.0592}{2 } \ln k\\\\ k = 1.7 \times 10 ^{42}[/tex]

Therefore, the equilibrium constant for the given reaction at 25°C is [tex]\bold {1.7 \times 10 ^{42}}[/tex].
