Find out the standard Gibbs free energy and the equilibrium constant of the cell reaction given below which has standard electrode potential of 0.236 V at 298 K.(Take F=96487 C, Antilog 0.981=9.37)2 Fe3+(aq) + 2I-(aq) → 2 Fe+2(aq) + I2(s)

Answer»

We have given, E0 = 0.236 v at 298 k

f = 96487 c

2 Fe3+(aq) + 2I-(aq) → 2 Fe+2(aq) + I2(s)

We have,

\(\triangle G^{\circ}=-nFE^{\circ}\) 

Here, n = 2 = No. of transfered electrons.

So, 

\(\triangle G^{\circ}=-2 \times 96487 c\times0.236 v\)

\(\triangle G^{\circ}=-45541.864 J\)

At equilibrium

\(\triangle G^{\circ}=-RTlnK_{eq}\) 

-45541.864 = -8.314 x 298 ln Keq

or 45541.864 = 8.314 x 298 x 2.303 x log Keq

⇒ Keq = 9.6 x 107

Hence, for given reaction at 298k, standard cribbs free energy 

(\(\Delta G^{\circ}\)) = -4454.864 J and

equilibrium constant = 9.6 x 107
