CalculateΔGofor the following cell reaction
Zn s + Ag 2 O s + H 2 O l → Zn 2+ aq +2Ag s +2 OH − aq

EAg+/Ag0=+0.80V and EZn+2/Zn0=-0.76V ,F=96500

(Given: K sp of AgOH = 2×  10 −8 )

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Calculation forEOH-Ag2OAg-
Reduction[2Ag++2e-→2Ags,∆G1o=-2×F×EoAg+|Ag
Ionisation[Ag2O+H2Ol→2Ag++2OH-∆G2o=-2.303RTlogksp2
NetAg2O+H2Ol+2e-→2Ags+2OH-,∆G3o=-2×F×EOH-Ag2OAgo
∆G3o=∆G1o+∆G2o
+2×F×EOH-Ag2OAgo=+2×F×EoAg+|Ag+2.303RTlogksp22F
EOH-Ag2OAgo=EoAg+|Ag+0.062×2log⁡ksp
=0.8+0.06log⁡2×10-8
=0.8+0.06-8+0.3
=0.8+0.06×-7.7
=0.8-0.462
=0.338Volt≅0.34V∆Go=-nFEceuo
=-nFEco-EARed
=-2×EOH-Ag2OAgo-EZn+2|Zno
=-2×96500×0.34+0.76
=-2×96500×1.1volt
=212300J
=212.3 kJ
