What are E∘cell and△G∘ of a redox reaction at250Cfor which n=1 andK=5.0×104.

Short Answer

Expert verified

E0cell=0.278V

△G∘=-26.827KJ/mol

Step by step solution

01

Standard electrode potential, equilibrium constant (K) 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 equilibrium constant and the standard electrode potential is given below.

Ecell°=  RTnFlnK

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

Calculation of  △E∘cell.

Number of electrons n=1.

Equilibrium constant at standard conditionsK=5.04×104.

We know that,

Ecell°=  RTnFlnKEcell°=8.314J/Kmol×298Kn×96500C/mollnKEcell°=0.0592V1lnK

Putting values of n and K, we get the value of Ecell°.

Ecell°=0.0592V×log5.0×1014Ecell°=0.0592V×4.699Ecell°=0.278V

Also,

△G∘=-nFEcell°

Here, n=1,Ecell°=0.278V,F=96500C/mol

Therefore,

△G∘=-1×96500C/mol×0.278V△G∘=-26.827KJ/mol.
