The following reaction occurs during rusting of iron

2H + +2e+ 1 2 O 2 H 2 O; E o  =+1.23V

Fe 2+ +2eFe(s); E o  =0.44V

Calculate magnitude of ΔG o (kJ) for the net process

Fe(s)+ 2H + + 1 2 O 2 Fe 2+ + H 2 O

Answer:
322.00
Solution:

Fe(s) Fe 2+ + 2e ; ΔG 1 o
2H + + 2e + 1 2 O 2 H 2 O(l); ΔG 2 o
Fe(s)+ 2H + + 1 2 O 2 Fe 2+ + H 2 O; ΔG 3 o
Applying, ΔG 1 o + ΔG 2 o = ΔG 3 o
ΔG 3 o = 2F×0.44 + 2F×1.23
ΔG 3 o = 2×96500×0.44 + 2×96500×1.23
ΔG 3 o =322310J
ΔG 3 o =322kJ
