Consider the following cell reactionCd(s)+Hg2SO4( s)+95H2O(l)CdSO4·95H2O(s)+2Hg(l).
The value ofEcell0is4.315 Vat25°C.IfΔH°=-825.2 kJ mol-1,the standard entropy changeΔS°inJ K-1is _________ . (Nearest integer)
[Given : Faraday constant=96487 C mol-1]

Answer:
25
Solution:

For given cell reactionn=2
andΔG°=-nFE°,cell ΔG°=ΔH°-TΔS
ThenΔH°=825.2×103 J/mole
T=298 K
E°cell=4.315 V
F=96487 C
ΔS°=--nFE°cell-ΔHT
ΔS°=--2×96487×4.315--825.2×103298=832.682×103-825.2×103298=7482298×103
ΔS°=25.1 J/k
