Use standard reduction potentials to calculate ΔG° for the reaction:
ClO4- + 6 Cl- + 6 H3O+ →ClO- + 3 Cl2 + 9 H2O
E°ClO4-/ClO-, H3O+ = +1.36, E°Cl2/Cl- = +1.35827
Use standard reduction potentials to calculate ΔG° for the reaction:
ClO4- + 6 Cl- + 6 H3O+ → ClO- + 3 Cl2 + 9 H2O
E°ClO4-/ClO-, H3O+ = +1.36,
E°Cl2/Cl- = +1.35827
E°cell can be calculated using the following formula
E°cell = E°(Reduction) – E°(Oxidation)
= (+1.36 V) – (+1.35827 V) = 0.00173V
Gibbs energy can be calculated by using following equation
ΔGo=− nF Eocell
Where
n = moles of e from balanced redox reaction
F = Faraday's constant = 96,485 C/mol
ΔGo = - 6 x 96,485 C/mol x 0.00173V
= -1001.5J/mol
= - 1.002KJ/mol
