The correct Answer is:
To find the standard EMF (E°) of the cell reaction given the standard Gibbs free energy change (ΔG°), we can use the following relationship: \[ \Delta G° = -nFE° \] Where: - ΔG° = standard Gibbs free energy change (in joules) - n = number of moles of electrons transferred in the reaction - F = Faraday's constant (approximately 96500 C/mol) - E° = standard EMF of the cell (in volts) ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values:** - ΔG° = -21.20 kJ - Convert ΔG° to joules: \[ \Delta G° = -21.20 \, \text{kJ} \times 1000 \, \text{J/kJ} = -21200 \, \text{J} \] - n = 1 (since one electron is involved in the reaction) 2. **Write the equation for ΔG°:** \[ \Delta G° = -nFE° \] Substituting the known values: \[ -21200 = -1 \times 96500 \times E° \] 3. **Rearrange the equation to solve for E°:** \[ E° = \frac{-21200}{-96500} \] 4. **Calculate E°:** \[ E° = \frac{21200}{96500} \approx 0.220 \, \text{V} \] 5. **Final answer:** The standard EMF of the cell is approximately 0.220 V.
