The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is correct regarding the properties of E of cell (cell potential) and ΔG (Gibbs free energy), we will analyze the definitions of intensive and extensive properties and apply them to both E of cell and ΔG. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define Intensive and Extensive Properties**: - **Intensive Properties**: These properties do not depend on the amount of material or the size of the system. Examples include temperature, pressure, and density. - **Extensive Properties**: These properties depend on the amount of material or the size of the system. Examples include mass, volume, and total energy. 2. **Analyze E of Cell**: - E of cell, or cell potential, is the voltage produced by an electrochemical cell. - It is an **intensive property** because the voltage remains the same regardless of the size or amount of the electrolyte in the cell. For a given type of electrochemical cell, the potential difference (E) is constant. 3. **Analyze ΔG (Gibbs Free Energy)**: - ΔG represents the maximum reversible work that can be performed by a thermodynamic system at constant temperature and pressure. - It is an **extensive property** because it depends on the amount of substance present. More reactants or products lead to a greater change in free energy. 4. **Conclusion**: - Based on the definitions and analyses: - E of cell is an intensive property. - ΔG is an extensive property. - Therefore, the correct statement is: "E of cell is an intensive property while ΔG is an extensive property." ### Final Answer: The correct statement is: **E of cell is intensive property while ΔG is extensive.**
