What is the approximate standard free energy change per mole of \(\mathrm{Zn}\) (in \(\mathrm{kJ} \mathrm{mol}^{-1}\) ) for a Daniel cell at \(298 \mathrm{~K}\) ?

  1. A -212.3
  2. B 230
  3. C 0
  4. D -1.1
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) -212.3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For Daniell cell we have \[ \mathrm{Zn}(s)+\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}(a q) \longrightarrow \mathrm{Zn}^{2+}(a q)+\mathrm{Cu}(s) \] Gibbs free energy \(=-n F E\) \(n=\) number of electrons \(=2\) \(F=\) Faraday's constant \(=96500 \mathrm{C}\) \(E=\operatorname{emf}\) of cell…
