The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the relationship between the standard Gibbs free energy change (ΔG°) and other thermodynamic quantities in a galvanic cell. The question asks for which of the given options ΔG° is not necessarily equal to at a certain temperature. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding ΔG°**: - The standard Gibbs free energy change (ΔG°) is a thermodynamic potential that can be used to predict the direction of a chemical reaction. - The relationship between ΔG° and the cell potential (E°) is given by the equation: \[ \Delta G° = -nFE° \] - Here, n is the number of moles of electrons transferred, F is Faraday's constant, and E° is the standard cell potential. 2. **Analyzing the First Option**: - The first option relates ΔG° to the cell potential E°. According to the equation mentioned, ΔG° is directly related to E°. - Therefore, this option is **not correct** because ΔG° is indeed equal to -nFE°. 3. **Understanding the Relationship with Equilibrium Constant (K)**: - The relationship between ΔG° and the equilibrium constant (K) is given by: \[ \Delta G° = -RT \ln K \] - This relationship holds true at equilibrium. However, it does not imply that ΔG° is equal to RT ln K under all conditions, only at equilibrium. - Thus, this option is **correct** in the context of the question, as ΔG° is not necessarily equal to RT ln K at all times. 4. **Analyzing the Third Option (Enthalpy and Entropy)**: - The Gibbs free energy can also be expressed in terms of enthalpy (ΔH°) and entropy (ΔS°): \[ \Delta G° = \Delta H° - T\Delta S° \] - This equation shows that ΔG° is related to both enthalpy and entropy. However, it does not imply that ΔG° is equal to zero. - Therefore, this option is also **not correct** since ΔG° is not necessarily equal to zero. 5. **Conclusion**: - The only option that ΔG° is not necessarily equal to at a certain temperature is the one relating to the equilibrium constant (K). - Thus, the answer to the question is that ΔG° is not necessarily equal to RT ln K. ### Final Answer: ΔG° is not necessarily equal to RT ln K at a certain temperature.
