Calculate the standard molar enthalpy, entropy and free energy for the following
reaction using ÆH of and ÆS o values.
Zn(s) + CuSO4 (aq) ⇔ ZnSO4 (aq) + Cu(s)
b. What is standard cell potential for the above reaction. Use equation (2).
H = H products - H reactants
= (-1063.17) -(-844.5)
= -218.7 kJ
S = S products - S reactants
= (-92.02 + 33.15) - (108.78 + 41.6)
= - 21.1 J / K
b)
G = H - TS
= -218.7 - 298 x (-0.209)
= -212.41 kJ
G = -nFEocell
-212.41 = -2 x 96485 x 10^-3 x Eocell
Eocell = 1.10 V
