Textbook Question
Chapter 18, Problem 18.99QE
Another type of battery is the alkaline zinc-mercury cell, in which the cell reaction is
Zn(s) + HgO(s) → Hg(ℓ) + ZnO(s) E° = + 1.35 V
- (a) What is the standard free energy change for this reaction?
- (b) The standard free energy change in a voltaic cell is the maximum electrical energy that the cell can produce. If the reaction in a zinc-mercury cell consumes 1.00 g mercury oxide, what is the standard free energy change?
- (c) For how many hours could a mercury cell produce a 10-mA current if the limiting reactant is 3.50 g mercury oxide?
