Answer

$ E^{\circ}_{cell} = 0.37 V$ $ \Delta G^{\circ} = - 35.7 KJ $ $ K_{c} =1.99 \times 10^{6}$

Work Step by Step

$ Cu^{2+}(aq) +1e → Cu^{+}(aq) $ $ E^{\circ} = +0.15V$ $ Cu^{+}(aq) + 1e → Cu_{(s)} $ $ E^{\circ} = +0.52 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} $ = 0.52 V -0.15 V = 0.37 V $ E^{\circ}_{cell} = 0.37 V$ $ \Delta G^{\circ} = - 1 \times 96500 \times 0.37 V$ =- 35705 J = - 35.7 KJ $ \Delta G^{\circ} = R \times T \times lnK_{c} $ $-35705 = [- 8.314 \times 298\times2.303 \times logK_{c}]$ $K_{c} = Antilog [ -35705\div[- 8.314 \times298 K\times2.303]$ $ K_{c} =1.99 \times 10^{6}$
