Calculate ΔG∘rxn and E∘cell for a redox reaction with n = 3 that has an equilibrium constant of K = 5.3×10−2.
ΔG∘rxn =

E∘cell = |
We have relation,
G 0rxn = - 2.303 R T log K , where K is
equilibrium constant.

= + 72279 J / mol
= + 7.279 k J / mol
ANSWER :
G 0rxn = 7.3 k J / mol
We have relation , G
0 = - n F E 0 cell
Where n = no. of moles of electrons transferred in the overall reaction.
We have, n = 3 , F = 96487 C / mol & G
0 =7.279 k J / mol
72279 J / mol = - 3
96487 C / mol
E 0 cell
E 0 cell = 72279 / ( - 3
96487 )
E 0 cell = - 0.2497 V
ANSWER : E 0 cell = - 0.25 V
