RE-NEET 2024 Chemistry Gibbs Free Energy MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

The standard cell potential of the following cell Zn|Zn²⁺ (aq)|Fe²⁺(aq)|Fe is 0.32 V. Calculate the standard Gibbs energy change for the reaction : Zn(s) + Fe²⁺(aq) → Zn²⁺(aq) + Fe(s) (Given : 1 F = 96487 C)

A

−61.75 kJ mol⁻¹

B

+5.006 kJ mol⁻¹

C

−5.006 kJ mol⁻¹

D

+61.75 kJ mol⁻¹

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The standard Gibbs energy change (ΔG°) is calculated using the formula ΔG° = −nFE°. Here, n = 2, F = 96487 C/mol, and E° = 0.32 V. Substituting these values gives ΔG° = −2 × 96487 × 0.32 = −61.75 kJ/mol.
