An oxidation-reduction reaction in which 3 electrons are Transferred has ∆G° = +18.55 kJ at 25°C? What is the value of E°?

The correct answer is: 0.064 V

Explanation:

In a oxidation-reduction reaction, the relation between Gibbs free energy (ΔGº) and cell potential (Eºcell) is given by:

where n is the number of electrons that are transferred in the reaction and F is the Faraday constant (96,500 C/mol e-). Given: ∆G° = +18.55 kJ and n= 3 mol e-, we calculate Eºcell as follows:

+18.55 kJ = (-3 mol e-) x (96500 C/mol e-) x Eºcell

Eºcell= (+18.55 kJ)/(-3 mol e-) x (96500 C/mol e-)

Eºcell= (18550 J)/ (289500 C)

Eºcell= 0.064 J/C

Since 1 Volt= 1 Joule/1 Coulomb, thus:

Eºcell= 0.064 J/C = 0.064 V

it is important to conserve water because there is very limited amount of freshwater here on earth and if we are not smart about how we use it we will only be runnning out of our supply faster than neccessarry.
