3.4 Calculate the standard cell potentials of galvanic cell in which the following reactions take place:
(i) 2Cr(s) + 3Cd2+(aq) → 2Cr3+(aq) + 3Cd
(ii) Fe2+(aq) + Ag+(aq) → Fe3+(aq) + Ag(s)
Calculate the ∆rGƟ and equilibrium constant of the reactions.
The galvanic cell of the given reaction is depicted as:
Now, the standard cell potential is
= -0.40-(-0.74)
=+0.34 V
Step 2:
Calculate the value of \(\Delta_{r} G^{o} \) is as follows:
In the given equation, n=6
F=96487 C
=+0.34 V
Then, = -6 x 96487 C x 0.34 V
=-196833.48 CV mol-1
=-196833.48 J mol-1
=-196.83 kJ mol-1
Step 3:
Again,
(ii)
Step 2:
\(E_{cell}^{o}\) is as follows:
The galvanic cell of the given reaction is depicted as:
Now, the standard cell potential is
Here, n=1
Step 2:
Then,
=3.2 (approximately)
