The standard electrode potential for a Daniell cell is 1.1 V. Calculate the standard Gibbs energy for the reactiction
\(Zn ( s )+ Cu ^{2+}( aq ) \rightarrow Zn ^{2Solution+}( aq )+ Cu ( s )\)

  1. A \(-220.27 kJ mol ^{-1}\)
  2. B \(-240.5 kJ mol ^{-1}\)
  3. C \(-212.27 kJ mol ^{-1}\)
  4. D \(-198 kJ mol ^{-1}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(-212.27 kJ mol ^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(E^{\circ}_{cell} = E^{\circ}_{Cu^{2+}/Cu} - E^{\circ}_{Zn^{2+}/Zn}\) \(E^{\circ}_{cell} = (+0.34 V) - (-0.76 V) = 1.10 V\) \(\Delta G^{\circ} = -nFE^{\circ}_{cell}\)…
