Answer: The values become more negative
Explanation: I just took the quiz and got it correct :)
First, we need to get the number of moles:
from the reaction equation when Y4+ takes 4 electrons and became Y, X loses 4 electrons and became X4+
∴ the number of moles n = 4
we are going to use this formula:
㏑K = n *F *E/RT
when K is the equilibrium constant = 4.98 x 10^-5
and F is Faraday's constant = 96500
and the constant R = 8.314
and T is the temperature in Kelvin = 298 K
and n is number of moles of electrons = 4
so, by substitution:
㏑4.98 x 10^-5 = 4*96500*E / 8.314*298
∴E = -0.064 V
A is the answer
Hope it helps :)
