Cus+Sn2+0.001MCu2+0.01M+Sns

The Gibbs free energy change for the above reaction at 298 K is x×10-1 kJ mol-1. The value of x is____[nearest integer]

[Given : ECu2+/Cu=0.34 V;ESn2+/Sn=-0.14 V;F=96500Cmol-1]

Answer:
983
Solution:

Ecell°=ESn2+Sn°-ECu2+Cu°=-0.14-0.34=-0.48

Ecell=Ecell°-0.0592logCu2+Sn2+

=-0.48-0.0295log10-210-3

=-0.48-0.0295

=-0.5095

ΔG=-nFEcell

=-2×96500-0.5095

=98333.5=98.33kJ=983.3×10-1kJ

x=983.3Nearest integer=983
