All the energy released from the reaction X→Y;ΔG∘=−193 kJ mol−1 is used for oxidizing M+ as M+→M3++2e−;E∘=−0.25V. Under standard conditions the number of moles of M+ is
(Given : [F=96500Cmol−1])

Solution
M+→M3++2e−E∘=−0.25V ΔG∘=−nFE∘ ⇒ΔG∘=−2×96500×(−0.25)J ⇒ΔG∘=48250J ⇒ΔG∘=48.25kJ
Number of moles of M+ oxidized =19348.25=4
