For the reaction taking place in the cell:
Pt(s) | H2(g) | H+ (q) || Ag+(aq) | Ag(s),
Eocell = + 0.5332 V.
The value of ΔfGo is _____kJ mol–1 [in nearest integer]
The correct answer is 51
Pt(s)|H2(g) H+ (aq)||Ag+(aq)|Ag(s)
\(\frac{1}{2}H+2+Ag^+→Ag+H^+\)
n = 1
EoCell = 0.5332
ΔG° = –nFE° = – 1 × 96500 × 0.5332
= – 51.453 kJ/mole ≃ 51 kJ/mole
An electrochemical cell is a device that is used to create electrical energy through the chemical reactions which are involved in it. The electrical energy supplied to electrochemical cells is used to smooth the chemical reactions. In the electrochemical cell, the involved devices have the ability to convert the chemical energy to electrical energy or vice-versa.
