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 |
