Look up delta Go for each.
dGo rxn = (n*dGo products) - (n*dGo reactants)
Then dGo = RT*logK.

Oh, you've come to the right place! Let's calculate K, but with a clowny twist!
For reaction (a), IO3-(aq) + Fe2+(aq) equilibrium reaction arrow Fe3+(aq) + I2(aq), we need to determine the equilibrium constant, K.
Now, I hope you're ready for some chemistry circus tricks! First, we need to write the balanced equation for the reaction:
2 IO3-(aq) + 10 Fe2+(aq) equilibrium reaction arrow 10 Fe3+(aq) + I2(aq)
Isn't it fascinating how the numbers dance around? Now, let's write the equilibrium expression:
K = [Fe3+]^10 [I2] / [IO3-]^2 [Fe2+]^10
Got it? Great! Now, let's move on to reaction (b): Zn(s) + Ag+(aq) equilibrium reaction arrow Zn2+(aq) + Ag(s).
Again, let's write the balanced equation for the reaction:
Zn(s) + 2 Ag+(aq) equilibrium reaction arrow Zn2+(aq) + 2 Ag(s)
Now, we can write the equilibrium expression:
K = [Zn2+] [Ag(s)]^2 / [Zn(s)] [Ag+]^2
And voila! We've calculated the equilibrium constants with just a sprinkle of clown magic. Have fun with your calculations!
To calculate the equilibrium constant (K) at 25°C for the given reactions, we need to use the equation:
K = [products] / [reactants]
(a) For the reaction:
IO3-(aq) + Fe2+(aq) ⇌ Fe3+(aq) + I2(aq)
The equilibrium constant expression is:
K = [Fe3+(aq)] * [I2(aq)] / [IO3-(aq)] * [Fe2+(aq)]
(b) For the reaction:
Zn(s) + Ag+(aq) ⇌ Zn2+(aq) + Ag(s)
The equilibrium constant expression is:
K = [Zn2+(aq)] * [Ag(s)] / [Zn(s)] * [Ag+(aq)]
Note: The concentrations of solids (Zn(s) and Ag(s)) are not included in the equilibrium constant expression as they are not part of the equilibrium expression.
To calculate the equilibrium constant (K) at 25°C for a given reaction, you need to know the concentrations of the reactants and products at equilibrium. However, if you are not given these concentrations, you can use the standard reduction potentials to calculate the equilibrium constant.
(a) IO3-(aq) + Fe2+(aq) ↔ Fe3+(aq) + I2(aq)
To calculate K, you need to use the Nernst equation:
E = E° - (RT/nF) * ln(Q)
Where:
E = cell potential at equilibrium
E° = standard cell potential
R = gas constant (8.314 J/(mol·K))
T = temperature in Kelvin (25°C = 298 K)
n = number of moles of electrons exchanged in the balanced equation
F = Faraday constant (96485 C/mol)
Q = reaction quotient, calculated from the concentrations of the reactants and products at equilibrium.
In this case, the balanced equation shows that one electron is exchanged. So, n = 1.
The value of E° can be obtained from the standard reduction potentials table. The reduction potentials for the half-reactions involved in the equation are as follows:
IO3-(aq) + 6H+(aq) + 5e- → 3H2O(l) + 0.59 V
Fe3+(aq) + 3e- → Fe2+(aq) + 0.77 V
Adding these two half-reactions gives the overall reaction:
2IO3-(aq) + 12H+(aq) + 10e- → 6H2O(l) + I2(s) + 1.36 V
Using the Nernst equation, we can now calculate the equilibrium constant K.
E = E° - (RT/nF) * ln(Q)
Where Q = [Fe3+][I2] / [IO3-][Fe2+]
Since we want to calculate K at 25°C, we can substitute the values:
T = 298 K
R = 8.314 J/(mol·K)
F = 96485 C/mol
E° = 1.36 V
n = 1
Now we can substitute these values into the equation and solve for ln(Q):
E = 1.36 V - (8.314 J/(mol·K) * 298 K) / (1 * 96485 C/mol) * ln(Q)
0 = 1.36 V - (2.48 J/mol) * ln(Q)
ln(Q) = 1.36 V / (2.48 J/mol)
Now, we can calculate the value of ln(Q) and use it to calculate K:
ln(Q) ≈ 0.5482
Q ≈ e^0.5482 ≈ 1.73
K = Q
Therefore, K ≈ 1.73 at 25°C for the given reaction.
(b) Zn(s) + Ag+(aq) ↔ Zn2+(aq) + Ag(s)
To calculate K for this reaction at 25°C, you can use the same approach as explained above.
First, determine the standard reduction potentials for the half-reactions involved:
Zn2+(aq) + 2e- ↔ Zn(s) E° = -0.76 V
Ag+(aq) + e- ↔ Ag(s) E° = 0.80 V
Using the Nernst equation and following the same steps as in part (a), you can calculate the equilibrium constant K for this reaction.
Note: The actual calculations are complex and involve the explicit use of the Nernst equation and the standard reduction potentials. It is highly recommended to use tables or software that provides these values for accurate and efficient calculation.
