The logarithm of equilibrium constant for the reaction Pd2++4Cl−⇌PdCl42−{Pd}^{2 +} + 4{Cl}^{-} ⇌ {PdCl}_{4}^{2 -} is
(Nearest integer)

Given: 2.303RTF=0.06V\dfrac{2 . 303RT}{F} = 0 . 06V

Pd(aq)2++2e−⇌Pd(s)Eo=0.83V{Pd}_{( aq )}^{2 +} + 2{e}^{-} ⇌ Pd ( s ) {E}^{o} = 0 . 83V

PdCl42−(aq)+2e−⇌Pd(s)+4Cl−(aq){PdCl}_{4}^{2 -} ( aq ) + 2{e}^{-} ⇌ Pd ( s ) + 4{Cl}^{-} ( aq )

Eo=0.65V{E}^{o} = 0 . 65V

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

Given, 2.303RTF=0.06V\dfrac{2 . 303RT}{F} = 0 . 06V

Using gibbs free energy equation,

ΔG°=−RTlnK\Delta G ° = - RTlnK

−nFEcello=−RT×2.303(log⁡10K)- {nFE}_{\text{cell}}^{o} = - RT \times 2 . 303\left(\log_{10}K\right)

ECell00.06×n=logK−−−−−−−−−(i){E}_{\text{Cell}}^{0}0 . 06 \times n = logK - - - - - - - - - ( i )

Pd2+(aq)+2e−⇌Pd(s),Ecathode, reduction0=0.83V{Pd}^{2 +} ( aq ) + 2{e}^{-} ⇌ Pd ( s ) , {E}_{\text{cathode, reduction}}^{0} = 0 . 83V

Pd(s)+4Cl−(aq.)⇌PdCl42−(aq)+2e−,Eanode, oxidationo=0.65VPd ( s ) + 4{Cl}^{-} ( aq . ) ⇌ {PdCl}_{4}^{2 -} ( aq ) + 2{e}^{-}, {E}_{\text{anode, oxidation}}^{o} = 0 . 65V

Net Reaction →Pd2+(aq.)+4Cl−(aq.)⇌PdCl42−(aq.)\to {Pd}^{2 +} ( aq . ) + 4{Cl}^{-} ( aq . ) ⇌ {{PdCl}_{4}}^{2 -} ( aq . )

Ecello=Ecathode,reductiono−Eanode, oxidationo{E}_{\text{cell}}^{o} = {E}_{\text{cathode,reduction}}^{o} - {E}_{\text{anode, oxidation}}^{o}

⇒Ecello=0.83−0.65⇒Ecello=0.18−−−−−−−−(ii)⇒ {E}_{cell}^{o} = 0 . 83 - 0 . 65 ⇒ {E}_{cell}^{o} = 0 . 18 - - - - - - - - ( ii )

Also n=2−−−−−−−−(iii)n = 2 - - - - - - - - ( iii )

Using equation (i),(ii)( i ) , ( ii )& (iii)( iii ), we get

ECell00.06×n=logK{E}_{\text{Cell}}^{0}0 . 06 \times n = logK

⇒0.180.06×2=logK⇒ \dfrac{0 . 18}{0 . 06} \times 2 = logK

⇒logK=6⇒ logK = 6
