(c) Consider the following electrochemical cell: Zn (s) | ZnCl2 | Hg2Cl2 (s) Hg(l) for which the cell reaction is Hg2Cl2 (s) + Zn(s) → 2 Hg(l) + 2 Cl(aq) + Zn²+(aq) Given that Eº (Zn2+; Zn) = -0.8044 V, E (Hg2Cl2, Hg) = +0.3577 V, and that the emf is E = 1.4055 V. (i) Determine AG, AG and the equilibrium constant, K for the cell reaction. (ii) Interpret the value for ArG based on question (i) above
