Question

The free energy change for the following reaction at 25 °C, when [Zn2+] = 6.70×10-3 M and [Cr3+] = 1.19 M, is 26.2 kJ:

3Zn2+(6.70×10-3 M) + 2Cr(s)3Zn(s) + 2Cr3+(1.19 M)     ΔG = 26.2 kJ

What is the cell potential for the reaction as written under these conditions?

Answer:  V

Would this reaction be spontaneous in the forward or the reverse direction?
