Step by step solution

01

Standard electrode potential and equilibrium constant

For a redox reaction taking place, the standard reduction potential is the difference between the respective cell potential.

Ecell=Ecathode-Eanode

The relation between equilibrium constant and the standard electrode potential is given below.

Ecell=鈥夆赌RTnFlnK

02

Equilibrium constant between Al(s)  and  Cd+2(aq)

The redox reaction taking place between Al(s)鈥夆赌塧nd鈥夆赌塁d+2(aq)is given below.

2Al(s)+3Cd2+(aq)2Al3+(aq)+3Cd(s)

Now, we have to write down the cathode and anode half-cell reaction along with their respective electrode potential.

Ecell=Ecathode-EanodeEcell=-0.40-(-1.66)Ecell=1.26V

At25C ,

Ecell0=鈥夆赌8.314闯/碍尘辞濒脳298鈥块2.303n96485鈥塁logK=0.0592nlogK

Since two electrons are involved in this redox reaction, n=6.

logK=1.26痴脳60.0592V=127.70K=10127.70=5.0110127

03

Equilibrium constant between  l2(s)  and  Br-(aq)

The redox reaction taking place between l2(s)鈥夆赌塧nd鈥夆赌塀r-(aq)is given below.

I2(s)+2Br(aq)2I(aq)+Br2(l)

Now, we have to write down the cathode and anode half-cell reaction along with their respective electrode potential.

At 25C,

Ecell0=鈥夆赌8.314闯/碍尘辞濒脳298鈥块2.303n96485鈥塁logK=0.0592nlogK

Since two electrons are involved in this redox reaction, n=2.
