    The standard emf of a galvanic cell involving moles of electrons in its redox reaction is \[0.59V\]. The equilibrium constant for the redox reaction of the cell is

    A)  \[{{10}^{20}}\]           

    B)  \[{{10}^{5}}\]

    C)  \[10\]              

    D)  \[{{10}^{10}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    In a galvanic cell, \[\Delta {{G}^{o}}=-nF{{E}^{o}}\]         ... (i) Relationship between \[\Delta {{G}^{o}}\] and equilibrium constant \[\Delta {{G}^{o}}=-2.303RT\,\log \,{{K}_{p}}\]    ... (ii) From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get \[-2.303RT\,\log \,{{K}_{p}}=-nF{{E}^{o}}\] \[\,\log \,{{K}_{p}}=\frac{nF{{E}^{o}}}{2.303RT}=\frac{n{{E}^{o}}}{\frac{2.303RT}{F}}\] \[=\frac{2\times 0.59}{0.059}=20\] \[{{K}_{p}}=AL(20)\] (AL=  Antilog) \[{{K}_{p}}={{10}^{20}}\]
