The standard Gibbs energy change (ΔrG∘) for a cell reaction is given by the relation:
ΔrG∘=−nFEcell∘
For the given reaction:
2Fe3+(aq)+2I−(aq)→2Fe2+(aq)+I2(aq)
The number of moles of electrons transferred (n) is 2 (since 2I−→I2+2e− and 2Fe3++2e−→2Fe2+).
Given:
n=2
F=96500 C mol−1
Ecell∘=0.24 V
Substituting the values into the formula:
ΔrG∘=−(2)×(96500 C mol−1)×(0.24 V)
ΔrG∘=−46320 J mol−1
Converting Joules to kiloJoules:
ΔrG∘=−46.32 kJ mol−1
