The equilibrium constant of the reaction

Cu(s) +2Ag(aq) ---- Cu2+(aq) +2Ag(s) E(standard)cell = 0.46V at 298K is

1- 2 x 10^10 2- 4 x 10^10

3- 4 x 10^15 4- 2.4 x 10^10

We can calculate the equilibrium constant of the reaction as follows:

Eocell = 0.46 V
Eocell=RTnF ln K    where, R = gas constant, T = temperature, F = Faraday's constant, n = no. of electrons involved and  K = equilibrium constant.

Substituting the values of R, T and F we get, 

Eocell=0.0592n ln K             = 0.02572 ln K         = 0.0295 log K

0.46 = 0.0296 log Klog K = 15.54K = 1015.54 = 3.46 ×1015


Therefore, the correct answer is (3).
