    For the reaction \[A(s)+2{{B}^{+}}(aq)\to {{A}^{2+}}(aq)+2B(s);\]the \[{{E}^{o}}\]is 1.18 V. Then the equilibrium constant for the reaction is

    A)  \[{{10}^{10}}\]

    B)  \[{{10}^{20}}\]

    C)  \[{{10}^{40}}\]

    D)  \[{{10}^{60}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     \[A(S)+2{{B}^{+}}(aq)\xrightarrow{{}}{{A}^{2+}}(aq)+2B(s)\] Oxidation \[A(s)\xrightarrow{{}}{{A}^{2+}}(aq)+2{{e}^{-}}\] Reduction\[2{{B}^{+}}(aq)+2{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}2B(s)\] Here, \[n=2\] \[{{E}^{o}}=1.18\,V\] \[{{K}_{eq}}=?\] \[\because \]\[\log \,{{K}_{eq}}=\frac{n{{E}^{o}}F}{RT}\] \[\left[ \frac{F}{RT}=\frac{1}{0.059} \right]\] \[\therefore \] \[\log \,{{K}_{eq}}=\frac{2\times 1.18\times 1}{0.059}\] \[\therefore \] \[\log \,{{K}_{eq}}=40\]or \[\,{{K}_{eq}}={{10}^{40}}\]
