Chapter 18, Problem 18.96QE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

${\text{E}}_{\text{cell}}^{\text{0}}$ for the reaction has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

In voltaic cell, the maximum cell potential is directly related to the free energy difference between the reactants and products in the cell.

  $\begin{array}{c}{\text{ΔG}}^{\text{0}}{\text{= -nFE}}^{\text{0}}\\ \text{n = Number of moles transferred per mole of reactant and products}\\ \text{F = Faradayconstant=96485C/mol}\\ {\text{ E}}^{\text{0}}\text{= Volts = Work(J)/Charge(C)}\end{array}$
