Question

Using this formula, to find K, what does E0 represent?

A.) cell potential
B.) electrons transferred
C.) equilibrium constant
D.) free energy change
E.) Gibbs free energy change

Answer 1

The correct answer would be A. The symbol Eo would represent the cell potential of an electrolytic cell. This potential is being created by two metals that possess different properties. The energy per charge that is available from the reaction of the metals is the measure of this potential and is related to the equilibrium constant, K.
