The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the relationships between the standard cell potentials (E°) and the Gibbs free energy changes (ΔG) for the given reactions. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Reactions**: - We have two reactions: 1. \( A + B \rightarrow C + D \) with \( E^\circ = x \) volts and \( \Delta G = \Delta G_1 \) 2. \( 2A + 2B \rightarrow 2C + 2D \) with \( E^\circ = y \) volts and \( \Delta G = \Delta G_2 \) 2. **Relationship Between E° and ΔG**: - The relationship between the standard cell potential (E°) and Gibbs free energy (ΔG) is given by the equation: \[ \Delta G = -nFE^\circ \] where \( n \) is the number of moles of electrons transferred, and \( F \) is Faraday's constant. 3. **Analyzing the First Reaction**: - For the first reaction \( A + B \rightarrow C + D \): - Let \( n_1 \) be the number of moles of electrons transferred. - Thus, we have: \[ \Delta G_1 = -n_1 F x \] 4. **Analyzing the Second Reaction**: - For the second reaction \( 2A + 2B \rightarrow 2C + 2D \): - The number of moles of electrons transferred is now \( n_2 = 2n_1 \). - Therefore: \[ \Delta G_2 = -n_2 F y = -2n_1 F y \] 5. **Comparing E° Values**: - Since the reactions are essentially the same but scaled by a factor of 2, the standard cell potentials will remain the same: \[ x = y \] 6. **Comparing ΔG Values**: - From the equations derived, we can relate ΔG values: \[ \Delta G_2 = -2n_1 F y = -2 \left( -n_1 F x \right) = 2 \Delta G_1 \] - Thus, we conclude: \[ \Delta G_2 = 2 \Delta G_1 \] 7. **Final Relationships**: - We have established that: - \( x = y \) - \( \Delta G_2 = 2 \Delta G_1 \) ### Conclusion: From the analysis, we can conclude that: - \( x = y \) - \( \Delta G_2 = 2 \Delta G_1 \) Thus, the correct option is that \( x = y \) and \( \Delta G_2 = 2 \Delta G_1 \).
