Question : 12
Total: 26
(a) The cell in which the following reaction occurs:
2Fe3+(aq)+2I(aq)2Fe2+(aq) +I2( s)
has E°cell =0.236V at 298K. Calculate the standard Gibb's energy of the cell reaction.
(Given : 1F=96,500Cmol1 )
(b) How many electrons flow through a metallic wire if a current of 0.5A is passed for 2 hours ?
(Given : 1F=96,500Cmol1 )
Solution:  
(a) 2Fe3++2e2Fe2+
2II2+2e
For the given cell reaction, n=2.
G=nFE°cell
=2×96500×0.236
=45548Jmol1
=45.55kJmol1
(b)
I=0.5At=2 hours =2×60×60s=7200 s
Q=It
=0.5×7200
=3600 coulombs
A flow of 96500c is equal to flow of 1 mole of electrons is 6.023×1023 electrons.
3600c is equivalent to of electrons
=
6.023×1023
96500
×3600

=2.246×1022 electrons
