The Daniell cell reaction Zn+CuX2+ZnX2++Cu has E∘=1.10V at 298 K. Taking F2.303RT=0.0591V, the equilibrium constant is of the order of
A1037
B1019
C1074
D102
Answer: A
logK=0.0591nE∘=0.05912×1.10=37.2, so K≈1037. Such a huge value means the reaction is practically complete; essentially no CuX2+ remains at equilibrium. Option B uses n=1 and option C uses n=4.
