The standard potential of the cell $(E_{cell}^θ)$ is related to the equilibrium constant ($K_C$) as |
$E_{cell}^θ=\frac{2.303\,nRT}{F}\log K_C$ $E_{cell}^θ=\frac{2.303\,nF}{RT}\log K_C$ $E_{cell}^θ=\frac{2.303\,RT}{nF}×K_C$ $E_{cell}^θ=\frac{2.303\,RT}{nF}\log K_C$ |
$E_{cell}^θ=\frac{2.303\,RT}{nF}\log K_C$ |
The correct answer is Option (4) → $E_{cell}^θ=\frac{2.303\,RT}{nF}\log K_C$ The relation between standard cell potential (E°cell) and equilibrium constant (Kc) is derived from the Nernst equation at equilibrium: $\Delta G^\circ = -RT \ln K_c \quad \text{and} \quad \Delta G^\circ = -n F E^\circ_\text{cell}$ $-n F E^\circ_\text{cell} = -RT \ln K_c$ $E^\circ_\text{cell} = \frac{RT}{nF} \ln K_c$ Converting $\ln$ to $\log_{10}$: $E^\circ_\text{cell} = \frac{2.303 RT}{nF} \log K_c$ |
