Explanation / Answer

Pb+2 (aq) + Mg(s) ------> Pb(s) + Mg+2(aq)

here Pb+2 -----> Pb is reduction reaction done at cathode

Mg -----> Mg+2 is oxidation reaction done at anode.

E0 cell = E0 cathode - E0 anode

E0 cell = -0.13 -(-2.37)

E0 cell = 2.24 V

we have dG = -nFE0 cell

where n = number of electrons involved in the reaction

F = faraday = 96500 coloumbs

and also dG = -2.303RTlogK

R = gas constant = 8.314

T = absolute temperature

-nFE0 = -2.303RTlogK

logk = nFE0/2.303RT

logK = (2*96500*2.24)/(2.303*8.314*298)

K = 5.86 * 10^75

I2(s) + 2Cl-(aq) -----> 2I-(aq) + Cl2(g)

here I2 -----> 2I- is reduction reaction done at cathode

2Cl- -----> Cl2 is oxidation reaction done at anode.

E0 cell = E0 cathode - E0 anode

E0 cell = 0.54 -(1.36)

E0 cell = -0.82 V

we have dG = -nFE0 cell

where n = number of electrons involved in the reaction

F = faraday = 96500 coloumbs

and also dG = -2.303RTlogK

R = gas constant = 8.314

T = absolute temperature

-nFE0 = -2.303RTlogK

logk = nFE0/2.303RT

logK = (2*96500*(-0.82))/(2.303*8.314*298)

K = 1.835 * 10^-28

MnO2(s) + 4H+(aq) + Cu(s) -----> Mn+2(aq) + 2H2O(l) + Cu+2(aq)

here Mn+4 -----> Mn+2 is reduction reaction done at cathode

Cu -----> Cu+2 is oxidation reaction done at anode.

E0 cell = E0 cathode - E0 anode

E0 cell = 1.21 -(0.16)

E0 cell = 1.05 V

we have dG = -nFE0 cell

where n = number of electrons involved in the reaction

F = faraday = 96500 coloumbs

and also dG = -2.303RTlogK

R = gas constant = 8.314

T = absolute temperature

-nFE0 = -2.303RTlogK

logk = nFE0/2.303RT

logK = (2*96500*(1.05))/(2.303*8.314*298)

K = 3.2824 * 10^35
