Answer:

Explanation:

The relation between equilibrium constant and Ecell is given below .

E⁰cell = (RT / nF ) lnK , F is faraday constant T is 273 + 25 = 298 K

E⁰cell = 1.46 - 1.21 = .25 V

n = 2

Putting the values

.25 = (8.314 x 298 lnK) / (2 x 96485 )

lnK = 19.47

K = 2.85 x 10⁸

2 )

Change in free energy Δ G

Δ G ⁰ = nE⁰ F

n = 4

E⁰ = .4 + .83 = 1.23 V

Δ G ⁰= 4 x 1.23 x 96485

= 474706 J / mol

3 )

E⁰cell = (RT / nF ) lnK

n = 2

1.78 = 8.314 x 298 lnK / 2 x 96485

lnK = 138.638

K = 1.62 x 10⁶⁰
