### Problem B

**What is the value of x for the following reaction if $ E^\circ = 1.43 \, \text{V} $ and $ \Delta G^\circ = -414 \, \text{kJ} $?**

\[ \text{A}^{2+} + \text{B}^{x+} \rightarrow \text{A} + \text{B} \]

These problems explore the relationship between cell potential, Gibbs free energy, and stoichiometry in electrochemical cells. In Problem A, students are asked to determine the Gibbs free energy change for a typical lead-acid battery reaction, which is foundational for understanding battery operation and energy storage. Problem B presents an assignment to solve for the charge $ x $ in a hypothetical electrochemical reaction, applying the fundamental equation that connects $ E^\circ $ and $ \Delta G^\circ $.

Expert Solution

Introduction

Gibbs Free Energy, a galvanic cell, is associated with the potential by: If E°cell > 0, then the phase (the Galvanic cell) is random or spontaneous . The mechanism is non-spontaneous if E°cell < 0 (electrolytic).

Given data

Given standard cell potential for a lead storage battery is 1.924 V .(E⁰)

Given equation is

$Pb (s) + {PbO}_{2} (s) + 2 H^{+} (aq) + 2 {HSO}_{4}^{-} (aq) \to 2 {PbSO}_{4} (s) + 2 H_{2} O (l)$
