The standard electrode potential for Daniell cell is 1.1 V. Calculate the standard Gibbs energy for the reaction:
           Zn(s) + Cu2+(aq)      Zn2+(aq) + Cu(s)

Solution
r G° = -nFE°       n = 2   and  F = 96500 C                              E°cell = +1.10
                    rG° = -2×96500×1.10
or                 rG° = -212300 J
                    Wmax = -rG° = 212300 J
