    For the reduction of silver ions with copper metal, the standard cell potential was found to be + 0.46V at 25°C. The value of standard Gibbs energy, \[\Delta {{G}^{o}}\]will be \[(F=96500\,C\,mo{{l}^{-1}})\]

    A) -89-0 kJ     

    B)                        -89.0 J  

    C)        -44.5 kJ                

    D)        -98.0k J

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    We know that, standard Gibbs energy,\[\Delta {{G}^{o}}=-nF{{E}^{o}}_{cell}\] For the cell reaction, \[2A{{g}^{+}}+Cu\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}C{{u}^{2+}}+2Ag\] \[\Delta E_{cell}^{o}=+\,0.46\,\text{V}\] \[\Delta {{G}^{o}}=-2\times 96500\times 0.46\] \[=-88780\,\text{J}\] \[=-88.7\,\text{kJ}\,\text{K}\approx -\text{89}\text{.0}\,\text{kJ}\]
