The standard free energy of Cu((aq))^(+)...

The standard free energy of `Cu_((aq))^(+)`  is `50 kJ mol^(-1)` and that of `Cu_((aq))^(2+)` is `66 kJ. mol^(-1)`. Calculate the change in free energy for the reaction, `Cu_((aq))^(+) to Cu_((aq))^(2+) + e^(-)`. 

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Standard free energy change,
`Delta G ^(@)_ = G _(Cu ^(2+))^(@) - G _(Cu ^(+)) ^(@)`
`= 66 kJ mol ^(-1) - 50 kJ mol ^(-1) = 16 kJ mol ^(-1).`
