(i) 1.1 = `K_c`
(ii) `(2.303RT)/(2F) logK_c` = 1.1
(iii) `log K_c = 2.2/0.059`

Solution
(ii) `(2.303RT)/(2F) logK_c` = 1.1
(iii) `log K_c = 2.2/0.059`
Explanation:
`E_(cell)^Θ = (2.303RT)/(2F) logK_c`
or `E_(cell)^Θ = 0.059/2 log K_c` or 1.1 = `0.059/2 loc K_c`
or `log K_C = 2.2/0.059`

Oxidation-reduction reactions are commonly known as redox reactions. They involve transfer of electrons from one species to another. In a spontaneous reaction, energy is released which can be used to do useful work. The reaction is split into two half-reactions. Two different containers are used and a wire is used to drive the electrons from one side to the other and a Voltaic/Galvanic cell is created. It is an electrochemical cell that uses spontaneous redox reactions to generate electricity. A salt bridge also connects to the half-cells. The reading of the voltmeter gives the cell voltage or cell potential or electromotive force. If \[\ce{E^0_{cell}}\] is positive the reaction is spontaneous and if it is negative the reaction is non-spontaneous and is referred to as electrolytic cell. Electrolysis refers to the decomposition of a substance by an electric current. One mole of electric charge when passed through a cell will discharge half a mole of a divalent metal ion such as Cu2+. This was first formulated by Faraday in the form of laws of electrolysis.
