NEET 2019 Chemistry Gibbs Free Energy MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

For the cell reaction, 2Fe³⁺(aq) + 2I⁻(aq) → 2Fe²⁺(aq) + I₂(aq), E°cell = 0.24 V at 298 K. The standard Gibbs energy (ΔG°) of the cell reaction is [Given that Faraday constant F = 96500 C mol⁻¹]

A

−23.16 kJ mol⁻¹

B

46.32 kJ mol⁻¹

C

23.16 kJ mol⁻¹

D

−46.32 kJ mol⁻¹

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

ΔG° = −nFE°cell. For the given reaction, n = 2, F = 96500 C mol⁻¹, and E°cell = 0.24 V, so ΔG° = −23.16 kJ mol⁻¹.
