Chapter 5, Problem 5I.4E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For the given cell reaction, the electrical work that can be done by the cell has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Gibbs energy and cell potential:

The relationship between Gibbs energy and cell potential is given by,

$\begin{array}{l}{\text{Δ}}_{\text{r}}\text{G}\text{=}\text{-}\text{v}\text{F}{\text{E}}_{\text{cell}}\\ \text{Where,}\\ {\text{Δ}}_{\text{r}}\text{G}\text{-}\text{reaction}\text{Gibbs}\text{energy}\\ \text{v}\text{-}\text{number}\text{of}\text{electrons}\\ \text{F}\text{-}\text{Faraday's}\text{constant}\\ {\text{E}}_{\text{cell}}\text{-}\text{cell}\text{potential}\end{array}$
