Question

19) Use the tabulated half-cell potentials below to calculate AG°for the following balanced redox reaction 19) The reaction is a 2 electron transfer Pb2+(aq) + Cu(s) Pb(s) +Cu2+(aq) E" =-0.13 V Cu2+(aq) + 2 e-Cu(s) Ee = 034 V Pb2+(aq) +2e Pb(s) A) 91 k B) 46 k D) -0.47 kJ 20) Calculate the standard cell potential for a reaction that has a equilibrium constand (K) of 8.9 x 1016 The reaction occurs at 298 Kelvin and is a 6 electron transfer redox reaction. A) 0.17 V B) 4.4x 1018v ) 1.00 V D) 3.8 x 1014v

Explanation / Answer

Answer 19 Pb2+(aq) + Cu(s) -> Pb(s) + Cu2+(aq).

Step 1: Half-reaction

Cu(s) -----------> Cu2+ + 2e- Eoox = -Eored = -0.34 V
Pb2+ + 2e- (aq) ------> Pb(s) Eored = -0.13

Step 2: Find E*cell

Eocell = Eoox + Eored = -0.34 V + (-0.13 V) = -0.47 V

Step 3: Solve for delta G:

Delta Go = -n * F* Eocell = -2 mol * (96485 C / mol )* (-0.47 J/C) = 90695.9J = 9.07 x 104J = 91.00 x 103

1 KJ =1000 J

Delta Go = 91 KJ

Therefore, Correct answer is (A)

Answer 20

G =-R*T* lnKeq

Keq = equilbrium constant,

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/K.mol

Temperature = T = 298 K

G = 8.314 x 298 x ln(8.9*1016) = 96.6932 KJ/mol

G = -n*F*E°cell

G = (-6 e-)*(96.458 KJ/mol e-/V)*E°cell

96.6932 /578.748 = E°cell

E°cell = 0.167 V or 0.17 V

Correct option is (A)
