Solution

The correct option is D 89 kJ
Point to remember:
Δ0G=nFE0cell
Given informations in question :
Reduction half cell
Cu2+(aq)+2eCu(s)
Oxidation half cell
Ag(s)Ag+(aq)+e
So from these half reactions we find that n=2
To calculate ΔG we need to find Eocell
Eocell = EocathodeEoanode
Eocell = EoCu2+/CuEoAg+/Ag
Eocell=0.340.8=0.46
On substituting
Δ0G=2×96500×(0.46)=8878089 kJ
