Published on: August 14, 2026

The standard cell potential of a reaction is related as Δ G° = , where – Δ G° equals maximum electrical work.

n = number of moles of electrons exchanged as per the balanced chemical equation.

= ……(i)

and also

= ……..(ii)

(i) The temperature cofficient of the emf of cell is given by –

A
–4.2 × 10 –4 VK –1 –73.53 JK –1
B
–3.81 × 10 –4 VK –1 83.53 JK –1
C
0.11 VK –1 100 JK –1
D
–nEF° (ii) At 300 K, Δ H° for the reaction Zn (s) + 2 AgCl (s) ⎯→ ZnCl 2 (eq) + 2Ag(s) is –218 KJ while the E° of the cell was 1.015 V of the cell is + 7.62 × 10 –4 VK –1 (iii) Calculate Δ S° for the given cell reaction in question number 20 – None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
B

(i)

Sol. From equation (2)

–nF = =

Hence B is correct

(ii)

Sol. Δ H° = –218 KJ, = 1.105 V

Substituting from <1>

⎯→

From equ , we have

.

again from equ. , we have

+ nFE ° =

(iii)

Sol. Δ H° = –218 KJ mol –1 ∴ = – 3.81 × 10

–4 VK –1 And =

Hence is correct
