The following half-reactions occur in the mercury battery


The following half-reactions occur in the mercury battery used in calculators. If E°cell = 1.357 V, calculate the equilibrium constant for the cell reaction at 25°C. (Assume the stoichiometric coefficients in the cell reaction are all equal to 1.)
