\begin{array}{l}{\text {In general, }} \\\\ \mathrm{{E_{\text {(cell ) }}^{\ominus}=\frac{0.0591}{n } \log K_{C}}}\end{array}

Thus, the above equation gives a relationship between the equilibrium constant of the reaction and standard potential of the cell in which that reaction takes place. Thus, equilibrium constants of the reaction, difficult to measure otherwise, can be calculated from the corresponding Evalue of the cell.

 

\\0.023 = \frac{0.0591}{n} log _{10}6 \\\\ \\n = \frac{0.0591}{0.23} log _{10}(2\times3) \\\\ \\n = 2.6 (log _{10}(2) + log _{10}(3)) \\\\ \\n = 2.6 (0.3010+0.4771) \\\\ \\n = 2.6 \times 0.7781 \\\\\Rightarrow n =2

Therefore,option(2) is correct
