For the reaction 4HCl(g) + O2(g)2H2O(g) + 2Cl2(g)
H° = -114.4 kJ and S° = -128.9 J/K The maximum amount of work that could be done when 2.05 moles of HCl(g) react at 308 K, 1 atm is kJ.
Assume that H° and S° are independent of temperature.
-1 0
4HCl(g) + O2(g) -----> 2H2O(g) + 2Cl2(g)
We know that ΔG = ΔH - T ΔS
= (-114.4 kJ) - ( 308K x (-0.1289 kJ/K))
= -74.7 kJ/mol
Also ΔG = -nFEo
n = number of electrons transferred = 0-(4(-1)) = 4
F = Faraday = 96500 Col
So Eo = -ΔG / (nF )
= 0.129 V
We know that maximum amount of work done = nFEo
= +74.7 kJ/mol
