The correct Answer is:
To calculate the standard Gibbs free energy change (Δ_rG^@) for the given cell reaction, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write down the cell reaction The cell reaction is given as: \[ \text{Zn}_{(s)} + \text{Ag}_2\text{O}_{(s)} + \text{H}_2\text{O}_{(l)} \rightarrow \text{Zn}^{2+}_{(aq)} + 2\text{Ag}_{(s)} + 2\text{OH}^-_{(aq)} \] ### Step 2: Identify the half-reactions From the overall cell reaction, we can identify the oxidation and reduction half-reactions: - Oxidation (Anode): \[ \text{Zn}_{(s)} \rightarrow \text{Zn}^{2+}_{(aq)} + 2e^- \] - Reduction (Cathode): \[ \text{Ag}_2\text{O}_{(s)} + 2e^- \rightarrow 2\text{Ag}_{(s)} + 2\text{OH}^-_{(aq)} \] ### Step 3: Determine the standard reduction potentials The standard reduction potentials are given as: - For Ag2O/Ag: \( E^\circ_{\text{Ag}_2\text{O}/\text{Ag}} = 0.344 \, \text{V} \) - For Zn2+/Zn: \( E^\circ_{\text{Zn}^{2+}/\text{Zn}} = -0.76 \, \text{V} \) ### Step 4: Calculate the standard cell potential (E°cell) The standard cell potential can be calculated using the formula: \[ E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = E^\circ_{\text{cathode}} - E^\circ_{\text{anode}} \] Substituting the values: \[ E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = 0.344 \, \text{V} - (-0.76 \, \text{V}) \] \[ E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = 0.344 \, \text{V} + 0.76 \, \text{V} = 1.104 \, \text{V} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the Gibbs free energy change (Δ_rG^@) The Gibbs free energy change can be calculated using the formula: \[ \Delta_rG^@ = -nFE^\circ_{\text{cell}} \] Where: - \( n = 2 \) (number of moles of electrons transferred) - \( F = 96500 \, \text{C/mol} \) (Faraday's constant) Substituting the values: \[ \Delta_rG^@ = -2 \times 96500 \, \text{C/mol} \times 1.104 \, \text{V} \] \[ \Delta_rG^@ = -2 \times 96500 \times 1.104 \] \[ \Delta_rG^@ = -213,130.4 \, \text{J/mol} \] \[ \Delta_rG^@ \approx -213.1 \, \text{kJ/mol} \] ### Conclusion The value of \( \Delta_rG^@ \) for the cell reaction is approximately \( -213.1 \, \text{kJ/mol} \), which corresponds to option B. ---
