Interpretation:
The equilibrium constant should be calculated for the following reactions at
Concept Introduction
Spontaneous Reaction: A reaction is said to be spontaneous if it occurs without being driven by some outside force. There are two driving force for all
The first is enthalpy, and the second is entropy. In this reaction the outside intervention does not influenced the reaction.
Standard cell potential:
In an electrochemical cell, an electric potential is created between two dissimilar metals.
This potential is a measure of the energy per unit charge which is available from the
To Calculate The equilibrium constant is calculate at the given temperature
