Calculate the standard Gibbs free energy change, AG°, in kJ for the following
reaction occurring in a galvanic cell at 25 °C. Refer to the information from the
standard reduction potential table below as necessary. Enter your response in kJ
and without units.
3 Cu+ (aq) + Al(s) → 3 Cu(s) + Al³+(aq)
Cu (aq) + e → Cu(s)
Eº = 0.52 V
Al³+ (aq) + 3 e → Al(s)
Eº = -1.66 V
Consider the galvanic cell. In a certain experiment, the emf (2) of the cell is found to
be Q.54 V at 25 °C. Suppose than [Zn2+] = 1.0 M and P(H2)= 1.0 atm, Calculate the
molar concentration of H* .
Calculate the cell potential for the galvanic cell in which the given reaction occurs at 25 °C, given that [Sn2 +] = 0.0670 M,
