Electrical energy produced by a reversible electrochemical cell is given by the free energy decrease (–Δ G) of the reaction occurring in the cell. According to Gibbs- Helmholtz equation, decrease in free energy is given by –Δ G=–Δ H–T[δ(Δ G)δ T]P where –Δ H is the decrease in enthalpy of the cell reaction at constant pressure. EMF of the cell, E=−ΔHnF+T[δ Eδ T]P. By measuring the emf of the cell and its temperature co-efficient, thermodynamic quantities like Δ H,Δ G and Δ S can be determined. Standard emf of the cell is related to equilibrium constant of the cell reaction as E0=2.303RTlog knF. EMF of the cell, AA2+B+B(S)(aq)(aq)(s)1M0.1M is found to be 1.475 Volt. The equilibrium constant of the cell reaction at 25∘ C is (approximately)
