Q.

The logarithm of equilibrium constant for the reaction Pd2++4Cl-⇌PdCl42- is _________ (Nearest Integer).

Given: 2.303RTF=0.06 V

Pd(aq)2++2e-⇌Pd(s)    Eθ=0.83 V

PdCl42-(aq)+2e-⇌Pd(s)+4Cl-(aq)    Eθ=0.65 V                    [2023]


Ans.

(6)

Given reaction:   Pd2++4Cl-⇌[PdCl4]2-

Ecell∘=EPd2+|Pd∘-E(PdCl4)2-|Pd∘=0.83-0.65=0.18

Ecell∘=0.062logKeq

0.18=0.062logKeq

logKeq=6
