Consider an electrochemical cell: A s    A n+   aq, 2 M    B 2n+ aq, 1 M    B s . The value of ΔH o for the cell reaction is twice that of ΔG o at 300 K. If the emf of the cell is zero, the S  (in  J K -1  m o l -1)of the cell reaction per mole of B formed at 300K is ____
(Given:ln2=0.7, R =8.3J K 1 mol 1 . H,S and G are enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs energy, respectively.)

Answer:
-11.60
Solution:

A(s)| A +n (aq.2M)|| B +2n (aq.1M)|B(s)
ΔH o = 2ΔG o E cell =0
CellRxA A +n + ne ]×2
B +2n +2 ne B(s)
2A(s)+ B +2n 1M (aq) 2 A +n 2M (aq)+B(s)
ΔG= ΔG o +RTln A +n 2   B +2n
ΔG o =RTln A +n 2   B +2n =RT×ln 2 2 1 =RTln4
ΔG o = ΔH o TΔS o
ΔG o = 2ΔG o TΔS o
ΔS o = ΔG o T = RTln4 T
=8.3×2×0.7=11.6J/K mol 1
