The correct Answer is:
To calculate the standard Gibbs energy (ΔG°) for the reaction given the standard electrode potential (E°) of the Daniel cell, we can use the following formula: \[ \Delta G^\circ = -nFE^\circ_{\text{cell}} \] Where: - \( \Delta G^\circ \) = standard Gibbs energy (in joules per mole) - \( n \) = number of moles of electrons transferred in the balanced equation - \( F \) = Faraday's constant (approximately \( 96500 \, C/mol \)) - \( E^\circ_{\text{cell}} \) = standard electrode potential (in volts) ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the number of electrons transferred (n)**: In the reaction: \[ \text{Zn}_{(s)} + \text{Cu}^{2+}_{(aq)} \rightarrow \text{Zn}^{2+}_{(aq)} + \text{Cu}_{(s)} \] Zinc (Zn) is oxidized from 0 to +2, losing 2 electrons, while copper (Cu²⁺) is reduced from +2 to 0, gaining 2 electrons. Therefore, \( n = 2 \). **Hint**: Look for the oxidation and reduction half-reactions to determine the number of electrons transferred. 2. **Use Faraday's constant (F)**: The value of Faraday's constant is \( F = 96500 \, C/mol \). **Hint**: Remember that Faraday's constant represents the charge of one mole of electrons. 3. **Substitute the values into the Gibbs energy equation**: Given \( E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = 1.1 \, V \): \[ \Delta G^\circ = -nFE^\circ_{\text{cell}} = -2 \times 96500 \, C/mol \times 1.1 \, V \] 4. **Calculate ΔG°**: \[ \Delta G^\circ = -2 \times 96500 \times 1.1 = -212300 \, J/mol \] 5. **Convert to kilojoules**: Since \( 1 \, kJ = 1000 \, J \): \[ \Delta G^\circ = -212300 \, J/mol \div 1000 = -212.3 \, kJ/mol \] ### Final Answer: \[ \Delta G^\circ = -212.3 \, kJ/mol \] ### Summary of Steps: 1. Identify the number of electrons transferred (n). 2. Use the value of Faraday's constant (F). 3. Substitute values into the Gibbs energy equation. 4. Perform the calculation to find ΔG° in joules. 5. Convert the result to kilojoules.
