AIPMT MAIN 2008 Chemistry Nernst Equation MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

Standard free energies of formation (in kJ/mol) at 298 K are237e^{-237}.2, -394.4 and8d^{-8}.2 for H₂O (l), CO₂ (g) and pentane (g) respectively. The value of E°cell for the pentane-oxygen fuel cell is

A

0.0968 V

B

1.968 V

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

Using the standard free energies of formation, the overall reaction free energy change can be calculated, which is then used to find E°cell using the relation ΔG° = -nFE°cell.
