Chapter 18, Problem 136CWP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value of $\Delta G°$ and $K$ for the given cell is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The species with higher oxidation potential undergoes reduction reaction at the cathode, while the species with lower reduction potential value undergoes oxidation at the anode.

The relationship between Gibbs free energy change and cell potential is given by the formula,

$\Delta G°=-nFE{°}_{\text{cell}}$

The relationship between Gibbs free energy change and equilibrium constant is given by the formula,

$\Delta G°=-RT\ln K$

To determine:

The value of $\Delta G°$ and $K$ for the given cell is to be calculated.

The value of $\Delta G°$ is $\underset{\_}{-312.611kJ}$.
