CBSEENCH12005996

The emf (E°cell) of the cell reaction : 3Sn4+ + 2Cr → 3Sn2+ + 2Cr3+ is 0.89 V. Calculate ΔG° for the reaction. (F = 96,500 (mol–1 and VC ≡ J)

Solution
we have given the emf of the cell reaction :

3Sn4++6e-3Sn2+                   At cathode2Cr  2Cr3++6e-                         At anode     n = 6,  E°cell = 0.89 V,     F = 96500 C mol-1


ΔG = –nE°F
= – 6 x 0.89 V x 96500 C mol–1
= – 515310 J = – 515.310 kJ.
