Calculate the standard potential, E°, for this reaction from its
ΔG° value. X(s)+Y2+(aq) ---> X2+(aq)+Y(s)
delta G=89.0 kJ
Answer
Given reaction is shown below X (s)+Y2 (aq)>X2* (aq)+Y(s) Calculate standard potential E° by using the following formula Here, G is free energy 89 kJ n is number electrons 2 mol E° is standard potential F is faraday constant- 96485 C/mol Substitute above values in equation (1) 89 kJxI 1000 1 kJ -2 mol×964 85 Cmol 89000 J 192970 C (J/C-1V) 0.46 V
