Solution

The correct option is C 21.227 kJ mol1
Let us use the Gibb's equation.
ΔG=nFE

Here we know F=96,487 C mol1
But we need n and E

Let us quickly write down the half reactions for a Daniel cell
Oxidation: ZnZn2++2e
Reduction: Cu2++2eCu

So, n = 2 and we know that E0=1.1V for a Daniel Cell. (Refer to previous videos if you want to find out how we got this value. )
So, ΔG=2×96487×1.1=21227 J mol1=21.227 kJ mol1
