We have given:

\mathrm{Cu^{2+}\: \overset{0.16V}{\rightarrow}\: Cu^{+}\: \overset{0.52}{\rightarrow}\: Cu}

Thus, Eodisproportionation = 0.52 - 0.16 = 0.36V

Now, we know:

\Delta G= -nFEo = -nRTlnK

\\\mathrm{\frac{RT}{F}\, lnK\: =\: 1\: x\: 0.36}\\\\\mathrm{lnK \: =\: \frac{0.36}{0.025}}

Thus, lnK = 14.4

Thus, lnK = 144 x 10-1
