The correct Answer is:
To calculate the standard Gibbs free energy change (ΔG°) for the given cell reaction, we can use the relationship between ΔG°, the number of moles of electrons transferred (n), the Faraday constant (F), and the standard cell potential (E°cell). The formula is: \[ \Delta G° = -nFE°_{cell} \] ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Identify the values needed for the calculation.** - We have the standard cell potential (E°cell) = 0.89 V. - The Faraday constant (F) = 96,500 C/mol. **Step 2: Determine the number of moles of electrons transferred (n).** From the balanced cell reaction: \[ 3 \text{Sn}^{4+} + 2 \text{Cr} \rightarrow 3 \text{Sn}^{2+} + 2 \text{Cr}^{3+} \] Each Sn ion goes from +4 to +2, which means each Sn ion gains 2 electrons. Therefore, for 3 Sn ions: \[ 3 \text{Sn}^{4+} \text{ gains } 3 \times 2 = 6 \text{ electrons} \] The chromium (Cr) is oxidized from 0 to +3, which means each Cr loses 3 electrons. For 2 Cr atoms: \[ 2 \text{Cr} \text{ loses } 2 \times 3 = 6 \text{ electrons} \] Thus, the total number of moles of electrons transferred (n) = 6. **Step 3: Substitute the values into the ΔG° equation.** Now we can substitute the values into the equation: \[ \Delta G° = -nFE°_{cell} \] \[ \Delta G° = -6 \times 96500 \, \text{C/mol} \times 0.89 \, \text{V} \] **Step 4: Calculate ΔG°.** Calculating the above expression: \[ \Delta G° = -6 \times 96500 \times 0.89 \] \[ \Delta G° = -6 \times 86535 \] \[ \Delta G° = -519210 \, \text{J/mol} \] **Step 5: Convert to kJ/mol (if necessary).** To convert Joules to kilojoules: \[ \Delta G° = -519.21 \, \text{kJ/mol} \] ### Final Answer: \[ \Delta G° \approx -519.21 \, \text{kJ/mol} \]

To calculate the standard Gibbs free energy change (ΔG°) for the given cell reaction, we can use the relationship between ΔG°, the number of moles of electrons transferred (n), the Faraday constant (F), and the standard cell potential (E°cell).
