### 6N.1.b)

I solved for K for part b) In3+ + U3+ --> In2+ + U4+ and I didn't get the same answer as the solution guide? I used the Nernst equation and got around K=100 but the solutions in the back says 1x10^4. Can someone explain how to solve this problem?

I think the book made a mistake because I got K=107. The book said that 2 electrons were transferred, but it should be that one electron was transferred.

I also got K=107

I also got K = 107, maybe there is a mistake in the solutions for the textbook.

Yeah you would get 1*10^4 if 2 electrons were transferred but that is not the case here. The answer should be 107
