Given the reaction: Cu(s)+2Ag+(aq)Cu2+(aq)+2Ag(s)\text{Cu}(s) + 2\text{Ag}^+(aq) \rightarrow \text{Cu}^{2+}(aq) + 2\text{Ag}(s) with E=0.46 VE^\circ = 0.46 \text{ V} at 298 K298 \text{ K}, what is the equilibrium constant for the reaction?

A

2.4×10102.4 \times 10^{10}

B

2.0×10102.0 \times 10^{10}

C

4.0×10104.0 \times 10^{10}

D

4.0×10154.0 \times 10^{15}

Step-by-Step Solution

The relationship between standard cell potential (EcellE^\circ_{\text{cell}}) and equilibrium constant (KcK_c) at 298 K298 \text{ K} is given by: Ecell=0.059nlogKcE^\circ_{\text{cell}} = \frac{0.059}{n} \log K_c For the given reaction: Cu(s)+2Ag+(aq)Cu2+(aq)+2Ag(s)\text{Cu}(s) + 2\text{Ag}^+(aq) \rightarrow \text{Cu}^{2+}(aq) + 2\text{Ag}(s) The number of electrons transferred (nn) is 22. Given E=0.46 VE^\circ = 0.46 \text{ V}, we substitute the values into the equation: 0.46=0.0592logKc0.46 = \frac{0.059}{2} \log K_c logKc=0.46×20.059=0.920.059=15.5915.6\log K_c = \frac{0.46 \times 2}{0.059} = \frac{0.92}{0.059} = 15.59 \approx 15.6 Taking the antilog of both sides: Kc=antilog(15.6)=3.92×1015K_c = \text{antilog}(15.6) = 3.92 \times 10^{15} Rounding off to the nearest option, we get 4.0×10154.0 \times 10^{15}.
