The correct Answer is:
To calculate the standard Gibbs energy change (ΔG°) for the given cell reaction, we will use the formula: \[ \Delta G^{\circ} = -nFE^{\circ}_{cell} \] Where: - \( n \) = number of moles of electrons transferred in the reaction - \( F \) = Faraday's constant (96400 C/mol) - \( E^{\circ}_{cell} \) = standard cell potential (0.24 V) ### Step 1: Determine the number of electrons transferred (n) In the given reaction: \[ 2Fe^{3+}(aq) + 2I^{-}(aq) \rightarrow 2Fe^{2+}(aq) + I_{2}(aq) \] Each \( Fe^{3+} \) ion is reduced to \( Fe^{2+} \), which involves the transfer of 1 electron per iron ion. Since there are 2 moles of \( Fe^{3+} \), the total number of electrons transferred is: \[ n = 2 \text{ (for 2 moles of } Fe^{3+}\text{)} \] ### Step 2: Substitute the values into the Gibbs energy formula Now, we can substitute the values into the equation: \[ \Delta G^{\circ} = -nFE^{\circ}_{cell} \] \[ \Delta G^{\circ} = -2 \times 96400 \, \text{C/mol} \times 0.24 \, \text{V} \] ### Step 3: Calculate ΔG° Calculating the above expression: \[ \Delta G^{\circ} = -2 \times 96400 \times 0.24 \] \[ \Delta G^{\circ} = -46320 \, \text{J} \] ### Step 4: Convert ΔG° to kJ To convert from Joules to kilojoules, we divide by 1000: \[ \Delta G^{\circ} = -46.32 \, \text{kJ/mol} \] ### Final Answer The standard Gibbs energy change (ΔG°) for the cell reaction is: \[ \Delta G^{\circ} = -46.32 \, \text{kJ/mol} \]

To calculate the standard Gibbs energy change (ΔG°) for the given cell reaction, we will use the formula: \[ \Delta G^{\circ} = -nFE^{\circ}_{cell} \] Where: - \( n \) = number of moles of electrons transferred in the reaction ...
