Step-by-Step Solution

The standard Gibbs energy change (ΔrG\Delta_r G^\circ) for a cell reaction is given by the relation: ΔrG=nFEcell\Delta_r G^\circ = -nFE^\circ_{\text{cell}}

For the given reaction: 2Fe3+(aq)+2I(aq)2Fe2+(aq)+I2(aq)2\text{Fe}^{3+}\text{(aq)} + 2\text{I}^-\text{(aq)} \rightarrow 2\text{Fe}^{2+}\text{(aq)} + \text{I}_2\text{(aq)} The number of moles of electrons transferred (nn) is 22 (since 2II2+2e2\text{I}^- \rightarrow \text{I}_2 + 2e^- and 2Fe3++2e2Fe2+2\text{Fe}^{3+} + 2e^- \rightarrow 2\text{Fe}^{2+}).

Given: n=2n = 2 F=96500 C mol1F = 96500 \text{ C mol}^{-1} Ecell=0.24 VE^\circ_{\text{cell}} = 0.24 \text{ V}

Substituting the values into the formula: ΔrG=(2)×(96500 C mol1)×(0.24 V)\Delta_r G^\circ = - (2) \times (96500 \text{ C mol}^{-1}) \times (0.24 \text{ V}) ΔrG=46320 J mol1\Delta_r G^\circ = - 46320 \text{ J mol}^{-1}

Converting Joules to kiloJoules: ΔrG=46.32 kJ mol1\Delta_r G^\circ = - 46.32 \text{ kJ mol}^{-1}
