The correct Answer is:
To calculate the e.m.f. (electromotive force) of the cell for the given reaction, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between ΔG° and e.m.f. The relationship between the standard Gibbs free energy change (ΔG°) and the standard electromotive force (E°) of a cell is given by the equation: \[ \Delta G° = -nFE° \] where: - \( n \) = number of moles of electrons transferred in the reaction - \( F \) = Faraday's constant (approximately \( 96500 \, \text{C/mol} \)) - \( E° \) = standard e.m.f. of the cell ### Step 2: Rearrange the equation to solve for E° From the equation above, we can rearrange it to find \( E° \): \[ E° = -\frac{\Delta G°}{nF} \] ### Step 3: Substitute the known values We are given: - \( \Delta G° = -43600 \, \text{J} \) - \( n = 2 \) (since the reaction involves the transfer of 2 electrons) - \( F = 96500 \, \text{C/mol} \) Now, substituting these values into the equation: \[ E° = -\frac{-43600 \, \text{J}}{2 \times 96500 \, \text{C/mol}} \] ### Step 4: Calculate E° Calculating the above expression: \[ E° = \frac{43600}{193000} \approx 0.226 \, \text{V} \] ### Step 5: Use the Nernst equation to find the e.m.f. of the cell The Nernst equation relates the e.m.f. of the cell (E) to the standard e.m.f. (E°) and the concentrations of the reactants and products: \[ E = E° - \frac{RT}{nF} \ln \left( \frac{[products]}{[reactants]} \right) \] Where: - \( R = 8.314 \, \text{J/(K mol)} \) - \( T = 298 \, \text{K} \) (25°C) - Concentrations: \([H^+] = 0.1 \, \text{M}\), \([Cl^-] = 0.1 \, \text{M}\), and \([H_2] = 1 \, \text{atm}\) ### Step 6: Substitute values into the Nernst equation Substituting the known values: \[ E = 0.226 - \frac{(8.314)(298)}{(2)(96500)} \ln \left( \frac{(0.1)^2(0.1)^2}{1} \right) \] ### Step 7: Calculate the logarithm term Calculating the logarithm: \[ \ln \left( \frac{(0.1)^4}{1} \right) = \ln(0.0001) = -9.2103 \] ### Step 8: Calculate the second term in the Nernst equation Calculating the second term: \[ \frac{(8.314)(298)}{(2)(96500)} \approx 0.0591 \] ### Step 9: Substitute and calculate E Now substitute back: \[ E = 0.226 - (0.0591)(-9.2103) \] \[ E = 0.226 + 0.543 \] \[ E \approx 0.769 \, \text{V} \] ### Final Answer The e.m.f. of the cell is approximately **0.769 V**. ---
