The equation that should be most likely used is E = E°-(0.0592/n)(logk).
I have the value for the standard emf = E°, and value of k.
Do I assume E to be zero then? If I do so, then the solution should look like the following:
0= E° - (0.0592/n)(logk)
0= 0.17 - (0.0592/n)(log(5.5*10^5))
0.17 =...
What is the equation I should be using for the following question:
At 298K a cell reaction has a standard emf of +0.17V. The equilibrium constant for the cell reaction is 5.5 X 10^5. What is the value of n for the cell reaction.
Grateful for anyone's help!
