The standard cell potential, E°, for Br2(aq) + Zn(s) → 2Br-(aq) + Zn2+(aq) at 298K is 1.82V. Calculate the value of ΔG° in kJ. Use 96,485 C/mol e-. Then calculate the equilibrium constant for the data.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Br2(aq) + Zn(s) → 2Br-(aq) + Zn2+(aq)    E0 = 1.82v

Zn(s) -------------------> Zn^2+ (aq) + 2e^-      E0 = 0.76v

Br2(aq) + 2e^- ----------------> 2Br^- (aq)         E0 = 1.06v

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Br2(aq) + Zn(s) → 2Br-(aq) + Zn2+(aq)      E0 = 1.82v

   n = 2

ΔG°   = -nE0 * F

         = -2*1.82*96485

          = -351205J

ΔG°    = -RTlnK

-351205 = -8.314*298*2.303logK

logK       = -351205/-5705.8483

logK      = 61.55

K         = 10^61.55 = 3.63*10^61 >>>>answer
