Answer

$ \Delta G^{\circ} = 81 KJ $ $ K_{c} = 1.6 \times 10^{14} $

Work Step by Step

$Ce^{4+}(aq) +1e → Ce^{3+}(aq) $ $ E^{\circ} = +1.61V$ $Fe^{3+}(aq) + 1e → Fe^{2+}(aq)+ 1e $ $ E^{\circ} = +0.77 V$ $ \Delta G^{\circ} = -n F E^{\circ}_{cell} $ Where $\Delta G^{\circ} = standard\ free\ energy\ change$ n = number of electrons involved in cell reaction= 1 F = Faraday’s constant= 96500 C/mol $ E^{\circ}_{cell} = E^{\circ}_{cathode} - E^{\circ}_{anode} $ = 1.61 V -0.77 V = 0.84 V $ \Delta G^{\circ} = - 1 \times 96500 \times 0.84 V$ =- 81060 J = - 81 KJ $ \Delta G^{\circ} = 81 KJ $ $ \Delta G^{\circ} = R \times T \times lnK_{c} $ $-81060 = [- 8.314 \times 298\times2.303 \times logK_{c}]$ $K_{c} = $ $Antilog -81060\div[- 8.314 \times298 K\times2.303]$ $=1.6 \times 10^{14}$ $ K_{c} = 1.6 \times 10^{14} $
