For a reaction 2Ag+(aq)+Cu(s)2Ag(s)+Cu2+(aq)2\text{Ag}^+\text{(aq)} + \text{Cu(s)} \rightarrow 2\text{Ag(s)} + \text{Cu}^{2+}\text{(aq)}, the standard cell potential (EcirccellE^circ_{cell}) is +0.46 V+0.46 \text{ V}. What is the standard Gibbs Free Energy change (ΔGcirc\Delta G^circ) for this reaction? (Given: F=96485 C/molF = 96485 \text{ C/mol})

Q2hard

A galvanic cell is constructed with two half-cells: Zn2+Zn\text{Zn}^{2+}|\text{Zn} and Cu2+Cu\text{Cu}^{2+}|\text{Cu}. The standard electrode potentials are EcircZn2+Zn=0.76 VE^circ_{\text{Zn}^{2+}|\text{Zn}} = -0.76 \text{ V} and EcircCu2+Cu=+0.34 VE^circ_{\text{Cu}^{2+}|\text{Cu}} = +0.34 \text{ V}. Calculate the equilibrium constant (KK) for the cell reaction at 298 K. (Given: R=8.314 J/mol⋅KR = 8.314 \text{ J/mol·K}, F=96485 C/molF = 96485 \text{ C/mol})

For the reaction Fe2+(aq)+Ag+(aq)Fe3+(aq)+Ag(s)\text{Fe}^{2+}\text{(aq)} + \text{Ag}^+\text{(aq)} \rightarrow \text{Fe}^{3+}\text{(aq)} + \text{Ag(s)}, the standard electrode potentials are EcircFe3+Fe2+=+0.77 VE^circ_{\text{Fe}^{3+}|\text{Fe}^{2+}} = +0.77 \text{ V} and EcircAg+Ag=+0.80 VE^circ_{\text{Ag}^+|\text{Ag}} = +0.80 \text{ V}. What is the standard cell potential (EcirccellE^circ_{cell}) and the spontaneity of the reaction under standard conditions?
