The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to calculate the reversible EMF (E_cell) of the given electrochemical cell at 25°C using the provided thermodynamic data. Here are the steps to arrive at the solution: ### Step 1: Write the reactions and their enthalpy changes 1. **Enthalpy of formation of water (H2O)**: \[ \text{Reaction 1: } \text{H}_2 + \frac{1}{2} \text{O}_2 \rightarrow \text{H}_2\text{O} \quad \Delta H_1 = -56700 \, \text{J/mol} \] 2. **Ionization of water**: \[ \text{Reaction 2: } 2 \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow 2 \text{H}^+ + 2 \text{OH}^- \quad \Delta H_2 = 2 \times 1950 = 3900 \, \text{J/mol} \] ### Step 2: Write the overall cell reaction The overall cell reaction can be derived from the anode and cathode reactions: - **Anode (oxidation)**: \[ \text{H}_2 \rightarrow 2 \text{H}^+ + 2 \text{e}^- \] - **Cathode (reduction)**: \[ 2 \text{e}^- + 2 \text{H}_2\text{O} + \frac{1}{2} \text{O}_2 \rightarrow 2 \text{OH}^- \] Combining these gives: \[ \text{H}_2 + 2 \text{H}_2\text{O} + \frac{1}{2} \text{O}_2 \rightarrow 2 \text{H}^+ + 2 \text{OH}^- \] ### Step 3: Relate Gibbs free energy to enthalpy and entropy Using the relation: \[ \Delta G = \Delta H - T \Delta S \] For the overall reaction, we can express: \[ \Delta G_3 = \Delta H_1 + \Delta H_2 - T(\Delta S_1 + \Delta S_2) \] ### Step 4: Calculate the change in Gibbs free energy Using the relation for cell potential: \[ \Delta G = -nFE_{cell} \] We can relate the Gibbs free energy change to the EMF of the cell: \[ -nFE_{cell} = \Delta H_1 + \Delta H_2 - T \Delta S_{net} \] ### Step 5: Substitute and rearrange for E_cell Rearranging gives: \[ E_{cell} = -\frac{\Delta H_1 + \Delta H_2}{nF} + T \frac{dE}{dT} \] ### Step 6: Substitute values - \(n = 2\) (number of electrons) - \(F = 96500 \, \text{C/mol}\) - \(T = 298 \, \text{K}\) - \(\Delta H_1 = -56700 \, \text{J/mol}\) - \(\Delta H_2 = 3900 \, \text{J/mol}\) - \(\frac{dE}{dT} = 0.001158 \, \text{V/K}\) Substituting these values into the equation: \[ E_{cell} = -\frac{-56700 + 3900}{2 \times 96500} + 298 \times 0.001158 \] ### Step 7: Calculate E_cell Calculating the first term: \[ E_{cell} = \frac{52800}{193000} + 0.345 \] \[ E_{cell} = 0.273 + 0.345 = 0.618 \, \text{V} \] ### Final Answer The reversible EMF at 25°C of the cell is approximately: \[ E_{cell} \approx 0.618 \, \text{V} \]
