NEET Chemistry (general) MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

Which of the following statements about electrochemical cells and Gibbs energy are correct?

A

The standard Gibbs energy change can be calculated from the cell potential using the equation ΔrG° = -nFE°cell.

B

A higher cell potential indicates a lower equilibrium constant for the reaction.

C

The relationship ΔrG° = -RT ln K can be derived from the standard cell potential.

D

The equilibrium constant K can be influenced by the concentrations of reactants and products in an electrochemical cell.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The correct statement is A, as it directly relates to the calculation of standard Gibbs energy from cell potential. Statement B is incorrect because a higher cell potential corresponds to a higher equilibrium constant. Statement C is misleading as it implies the derivation is straightforward without specifying conditions. Statement D is not directly related to the definitions provided in the context.
