Question
If you watched the "Breaking Bad" video, the two components of the battery that he was
manufacturing were mercuric oxide (HgO) and zinc. Here are the half reactions for this battery.
Consider the following two half reactions:
HgO (s) + H₂O (1) + 2e → Hg(s) + 2OH(aq) Eºr
red = 0.0977 V
Zn(OH)42 (aq) + 2e → Zn(s) +40H (aq) Eºred=-1.19 V
What is the equilibrium constant (K) for this full redox reaction?
T = 298 K
F = 9.65 x 104 C/mol
4.38 x 1043
O 7.23 x 1062
5.78 x 104⁹
O 1.33 x 1023
O 100.3
