Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the free energy change (ΔG) for galvanic and electrolytic cells, we can analyze the characteristics of each type of cell. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Galvanic Cells**: - Galvanic cells, also known as voltaic cells, are electrochemical cells that convert chemical energy into electrical energy through spontaneous redox reactions. - In a galvanic cell, the free energy change (ΔG) is negative, indicating that the reaction occurs spontaneously. ...

Gibbs-Helmoholtz equation relates the free energy change to the enthalpy and entropy changes of the process as (DeltaG)_(PT) = DeltaH - T DeltaS The magnitude of DeltaH does not change much with the change in temperature but the energy factor T DeltaS changes appreciably. Thus, spontaneity of a process depends very much on temperature. A reaction has value of DeltaH = 20 kcal at 200K , the reaction is spontaneous, below this temperature, it is not. the values DeltaG and DeltaS at 200K are, respectively
