Calculate △G∘for each of the reactions

(a)Cr(s) and Cu2 +(aq)(b)Sn(s) and Pb2 +(aq)

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. △G∘=-619.53KJ/mol

b. △G∘=-1.93KJ/mol

Step by step solution

01

Standard electrode potential and △G∘

For a redox reaction taking place, the standard reduction potential is the difference between the respective cell potential.

Ecell°=Ecathode°- Eanode°

The relation between△G∘ and the standard electrode potential is given below.

△G∘=-nFE∘cell

Where,

n = number of electrons involved in the redox reaction

F = 96500 C/mol

02

△G∘cell between Cr(s) and Cu2+(aq)

The redox reaction taking place betweenNis  and  Ag+aqis given below.

2Cr(s)+3Cu2+→2Cr3+(aq)+3Cu(s)

Now, we have to write down the cathode and anode half-cell reaction along with their respective electrode potential.

2Crs→2Cr+ 3aq+ 6e-                      E°anode=-0.73 V3Cu+ 2aq+ 6e-→3Cus                     E°cathode=0.34 V

E∘cell=E∘cathode-E∘anodeE∘cell=0.34V--0.73VE∘cell=1.07V

We know that.

△G∘=-nFE∘cell△G∘=-6×96500C/mol×1.07V△G∘=-619.53KJ/mol

Hence△G∘=-619.53KJ/mol.

03

△G∘between Sn(s) and Pb2+(aq)

The redox reaction taking place between Nis  and  Ag+aqis given below.

Sn(s)+Pb2+(aq)→Sn2+(aq)+Pb(s)

Now, we have to write down the cathode and anode half-cell reaction along with their respective electrode potential.

Sns→Sn+ 2aq+ 2e-                      E°anode= - 0.14 VPb+ 2aq+ 2e-→Pbs                     E°cathode=-0.13 V

E∘cell=E∘cathode-E∘anodeE∘cell=-0.13V--0.14VE∘cell=0.01V△G∘=-2×96500C/mol×0.01V△G∘=-1.93KJ/mol

Hence△G∘=-1.93KJ/mol.
