If the standard electrode potential for a cell is 2 V at 300 K, the equilibrium constant K for the reaction.

Zns+Cu2+aqZn2+aq+Cus 

at 300 K is approximately:

R=8 JK-1mol-1, F=96000 C mol-1
  1. e-160
  2. e-80
  3. e160
  4. e320

Solution

G=Go+RTlnQ
At equilibrium G=0, Q=k
0=Go+RT lnK
Go=-RT lnK Go=-nFEo
So -nFEo=-RT lnk
n factor for the above cell =2
So -2×96000×2=-8×300 lnk
lnk=160
k=e160
