The relationship between standard cell potential (Ecell∘) and equilibrium constant (Kc) at 298 K is given by:
Ecell∘=n0.059logKc
For the given reaction:
Cu(s)+2Ag+(aq)→Cu2+(aq)+2Ag(s)
The number of electrons transferred (n) is 2.
Given E∘=0.46 V, we substitute the values into the equation:
0.46=20.059logKc
logKc=0.0590.46×2=0.0590.92=15.59≈15.6
Taking the antilog of both sides:
Kc=antilog(15.6)=3.92×1015
Rounding off to the nearest option, we get 4.0×1015.
