Answer #1

from data table:

Eo(Sn2+/Sn(s)) = -0.14 V

Eo(Cl2(g)/2Cl-) = 1.36 V

As per given reaction/cell notation,

cathode is (Cl2(g)/2Cl-)

anode is (Sn2+/Sn(s))

Eocell = Eocathode - Eoanode

= (1.36) - (-0.14)

= 1.50 V

here, number of electrons being transferred, n = 2

Eo = (2.303*R*T)/(n*F) log Kc

At 25 oC or 298 K, R*T/F = 0.0592

So, Eo = (0.0592/n)*log Kc

1.5 = (0.0592/2)*log Kc

log Kc = 50.6757

Kc = 4.739*10^50

Answer: 4.7*10^50
