(N/A) The relationship between the standard cell potential and the equilibrium constant is given by the Nernst equation at $298 \ K$:
$E^{\Theta}_{cell} = \frac{0.059 \ V}{n} \log K_C$
Here,$n = 2$ (number of electrons transferred in the reaction).
Substituting the values:
$0.46 \ V = \frac{0.059 \ V}{2} \log K_C$
$\log K_C = \frac{0.46 \times 2}{0.059} = \frac{0.92}{0.059} \approx 15.593$
$K_C = \text{antilog}(15.593) = 3.92 \times 10^{15}$
