What is the value of the equilibrium constant for the reaction between each pair at 25°C?(b) Cl₂(g) and Br⁻(aq)

Respuesta :

The value of the equilibrium constant at 25°C = 6 x 10⁹

For the reaction,

At cathode : 2 Cl- + 2e -     -------------->  Cl₂ (g)     ;     E₀ = 1.36 V

At anode : Br₂ (l)   ---------------->  2 Br-  + 2e-   ;    E₀ = 1.07  V

E₀cell = E₀cathode - E₀anode

E₀cell = 1.36 - 1.07

        = 0.29 V

ΔG₀  = - nF E₀

ΔG₀  = - 2 x 96485 x 0.29

        = - 55.96 kJ/mol

ΔG₀ = - RT ln K

- 55.96 = - 8.314 x 10⁻³ x 298 x ln K

or, K= 6 x 10⁹

Therefore, the equilibrium constant at 25°C = 6 x 10⁹.
