You are given the following three half-reactions:(1) Fe³⁺(aq) + e⁻ ⇄ Fe²⁺(aq) (2) Fe²⁺(aq) +2e⁻ ⇄ Fe(s) (3) Fe³⁺(aq) +3e⁻ ⇄ Fe(s) (c) Calculate ΔG° for (3) from (1) and (2).

Respuesta :

The Gibb's energy of equation-3 is -10615kj .

Given ,

1)  Fe3+(aq) +e =Fe2+

2) Fe2+(aq) +2e = Fe(s)

3) Fe3+(aq) +3e = Fe (s)

the E cell of the equation-1 is  0.77 volts .

thus, [tex]delG^{0} =nFEcell = 1 \times96500\times0.77=74305 kj[/tex]

then the E cell of equation-2 is -0.44 volts .

thus ,[tex]delG^{0} =nFEcell =2\times 96500\times(-0.44)=-84920 kj[/tex]

by adding two equations 1 and 2 ,we get the equation 3 ,

thus , Gibbs energy of equation-3 is given by ,

[tex]delG^{0} = 74305 +(-84920) =-10615 kj[/tex]

Thus , the Gibbs energy of equation-3 is -10615kj .
