For the reaction 2FeX3++SnX2+→2FeX2++SnX4+ at 298 K, use E∘(FeX3+/FeX2+)=+0.77V, E∘(SnX4+/SnX2+)=+0.15V and F=96500Cmol−1. ΔG∘ for the reaction as written is
A−59.8kJ
B−239.3kJ
C+119.7kJ
D−119.7kJ
Answer: D
Ecell∘=0.77−0.15=0.62V and n=2 electrons are transferred. ΔG∘=−nFE∘=−2×96500×0.62=−119660J≈−119.7kJ.
