The correct Answer is:
To calculate the standard free energy change (ΔG°) for the given electrochemical reaction, we can use the following formula: \[ \Delta G° = -nFE°_{cell} \] Where: - \( n \) = number of moles of electrons transferred in the reaction - \( F \) = Faraday's constant (approximately \( 96,500 \, C/mol \)) - \( E°_{cell} \) = standard cell potential (given as \( 1.10 \, V \)) ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Determine the number of moles of electrons (n)** For the reaction involving zinc and copper: - Zinc (Zn) is oxidized from \( Zn(s) \) to \( Zn^{2+} \), which involves the loss of 2 electrons. - Copper (Cu) is reduced from \( Cu^{2+} \) to \( Cu(s) \), which involves the gain of 2 electrons. Thus, the total number of moles of electrons transferred (n) is 2. **Step 2: Use the formula to calculate ΔG°** Now, substituting the values into the equation: \[ \Delta G° = -nFE°_{cell} \] Substituting \( n = 2 \), \( F = 96,500 \, C/mol \), and \( E°_{cell} = 1.10 \, V \): \[ \Delta G° = -2 \times 96,500 \, C/mol \times 1.10 \, V \] **Step 3: Calculate ΔG°** Calculating the right side: \[ \Delta G° = -2 \times 96,500 \times 1.10 \] \[ \Delta G° = -2 \times 106150 \, J/mol \] \[ \Delta G° = -212300 \, J/mol \] **Step 4: Convert ΔG° to kilojoules** To convert from joules to kilojoules, divide by 1000: \[ \Delta G° = -212.3 \, kJ/mol \] ### Final Answer: \[ \Delta G° = -212.3 \, kJ/mol \] ---
