Answer

$$ \begin{aligned} & K=e^{\frac{n F E}{R T}} \\ & n=1 e^{-}, F=96485 \mathrm{C} \mathrm{mol}^{-}, E=0.177 \mathrm{~V}, R=8.314 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~mol}^{-} \mathrm{K}^{-}, T=298 \mathrm{~K} \\ & K=e^{\frac{\left(1 e^{-}\right)(96485)(0.177)}{(8.314)(298)}} \\ & K=e^{6.89} \\ & K=985.33 \text { or } 9.85 \times 10^{2} \end{aligned} $$

Work Step by Step

What is given... $$ \begin{aligned} & E_{\text {Cell }}=0.177 \mathrm{~V} \\ & T=298 \mathrm{~K} \\ & n=1 \end{aligned} $$ Formula... $$ \begin{aligned} & E_{\text {Cell }}=\frac{R T}{n F} \ln (K) \\ & n F E=R T \ln (K) \\ & \frac{n F E}{R T}=\ln (K) \\ & K=e^{\frac{n F E}{R T}} \\ & n=1 e^{-}, F=96485 \mathrm{C} \mathrm{mol}^{-}, E=0.177 \mathrm{~V}, R=8.314 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~mol}^{-} \mathrm{K}^{-}, T=298 \mathrm{~K} \\ & K=e^{\frac{\left(1 e^{-}\right)(96485)(0.177)}{(8.314)(298)}} \\ & K=e^{6.89} \\ & K=985.33 \text { or } 9.85 \times 10^{2} \end{aligned} $$
