The logarithm of equilibrium constant for the reaction Pd2++4Cl-PdCl42-   is
(Nearest integer)

Given: 2.303RTF=0.06 V

Pd(aq)2++2e-Pd(s)  Eo=0.83 V

The correct answer is: 6

Given, 2.303RTF=0.06 V

Using gibbs free energy equation,

ΔG°=-RT lnK

-nFEcell o=-RT×2.303log10 K

ECell00.06×n=log K---------(i)

Pd2+ (aq) + 2e- Pd(s), Ecathode, reduction 0 = 0.83 V

Pd (s)+4Cl- (aq.)  PdCl42- (aq) + 2e-, Eanode, oxidationo = 0.65V

Net Reaction Pd2+ (aq.) + 4Cl- (aq.)  PdCl42- (aq.)

Ecell o = Ecathode,reductiono - Eanode, oxidation o

 Ecello = 0.83 - 0.65Ecello = 0.18--------(ii)

Also n=2--------(iii)

Using equation (i), (ii) & (iii), we get

ECell00.06×n=log K

 0.180.06× 2 = log K

 logK = 6
