Question

The standard electronde potential for Daniell cell is 1.1 V. Calculate the standard Gibbs energy for the reaction:

Zn(s)+Cu2+(aq) Zn2+(aq)+Cu(s)

Open in App
Solution

Given:
EΘ(cell) =1.1 V

Standard Gibbs energy

We know that,

ΔrGΘ =nFEΘ(cell)

number of exchange electrons
(n)=2,F=96487 C mol1

By putting the values, we get​
​​​​​​
ΔrGΘ = 2× 1.1 V× 96487 C mol1

ΔrGΘ = 212271.4 J mol1

ΔrGΘ = 212.27 kJ mol1

Final answer:

The standard Gibbs energy for the reaction is 212.27 kJ mol1.
