Compute the equilibrium constant for the spontaneous reaction between Cd2 (aq) and Zn(s).

Kc = [Zn²⁺] / [Cd²⁺]

Explanation:

Let's consider the spontaneous redox reaction between Cd²⁺ and Zn.

Cd²⁺(aq) + Zn(s) ⇄ Cd(s) + Zn²⁺(aq)

The equilibrium constant, Kc, is the ratio of the equilibrium concentrations of products over the equilibrium concentrations of reactants each raised to the power of their stoichiometric coefficients. It only includes gases and aqueous species.

Kc = [Zn²⁺] / [Cd²⁺]

if two electrons have the same n, the same ℓ, and the same ml, then they are in the same orbital. the pauli exclusion principle states that no two identical fermions (a fancy word for electrons and other subatomic particles like electrons) may occupy the same quantum state in an atom simultaneously.
