At 298K , the equilibrium constant is 2 × 10 ^ 15 for the reaction:...

At 298K298K, the equilibrium constant is 2×10152 \times {10}^{15} for the reaction:

Cu(s)+2Ag+(aq)⇌Cu2+(aq)+2Ag(s)Cu\left(s\right) + 2{Ag}^{+}\left(aq\right) ⇌ {Cu}^{2 +}\left(aq\right) + 2Ag\left(s\right)

The equilibrium constant for the reaction

12Cu2+(aq)+Ag(s)⇌12Cu(s)+Ag+(aq)\dfrac{1}{2}{Cu}^{2 +}\left(aq\right) + Ag\left(s\right) ⇌ \dfrac{1}{2}Cu\left(s\right) + {Ag}^{+}\left(aq\right) is x×10−8x \times {10}^{- 8}. The value of xx is ______. (Round off the answer to the nearest integer)

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

Cu(s)+2Ag+(aq)⇌Cu2+(aq)+2Ag(s);Keq=2×1015Cu\left(s\right) + 2{Ag}^{+}\left(aq\right) ⇌ {Cu}^{2 +}\left(aq\right) + 2Ag\left(s\right); {K}_{eq} = 2 \times {10}^{15}

12Cu2+(aq)+Ag(s)⇌12Cu(s)+Ag+(aq)\dfrac{1}{2}{Cu}^{2 +}\left(aq\right) + Ag\left(s\right) ⇌ \dfrac{1}{2}Cu\left(s\right) + {Ag}^{+}\left(aq\right)

The equilibrium reaction is reversed and multiplied with 12\dfrac{1}{2},

Hence, Keq′=1Keq=12×1015=x×10−8{K}_{eq}^{'} = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{{K}_{eq}}} = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2 \times {10}^{15}}} = x \times {10}^{- 8}

⇒120×1107=x×10−8⇒ \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{20}} \times \dfrac{1}{{10}^{7}} = x \times {10}^{- 8}

⇒120×10−7=x×10−8⇒ \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{20}} \times {10}^{- 7} = x \times {10}^{- 8}

1020=x\dfrac{10}{\sqrt{20}} = x

⇒x=102=5=2.236⇒ x = \dfrac{\sqrt{10}}{\sqrt{2}} = \sqrt{5} = 2 . 236

≃2.24≃ 2 . 24
