The rusting of iron takes place as follows `:`
`2H^(o+)+2e^(-) +(1)/(2)O_(2)rarr H_(2)O(l)," "E^(c-)=+1.23V`
`Fe^(2+)+2e^(-) rarr Fe(s)," "E^(c-)=-0.44V`
Calculae `DeltaG^(c-)` for the net process.

A

`-322kJ mol^(-10`

B

`-161kJmol^(-1)`

C

`-152kJ mol^(-1)`

D

`-76kJ mol^(-1)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a
`E^(c-)._(cell)=1.23-(-0.44)=1.67V`
`impliesDeltaG^(c-)._(cell)=nFE^(c-)._(cell)=-2xx96500xx1.67 J mol^(-1)`
`=-332.3kJ mol ^(-1)`
