For the disproportionation reaction 2 Cu + aq ⇌ Cu s + Cu 2 + aq at 298 K , ln   K (where K is the equilibrium constant) is _______ × 10 - 1 Given : E ° Cu 2 + / Cu + = 0 . 16 V   E ° Cu + / Cu = 0 . 52 V RT F = 0 . 025
Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
E cell o = E Cu + / Cu ° - E Cu 2 + / Cu + ° = 0 . 52 - 0 . 16 = 0 . 36   V E cell ° = RT nF lnK eq 0 . 36 = 0 . 025 1 lnk In   k = 14 . 4             = 144 × 10 - 1
