Question

For a reaction in a galvanic cell, the value of G at certain temperature is not necessarily equal to:
  1. nFE
  2. RT ln K
  3. TSH
  4. zero

A
RT ln K
B
TSH
C
zero
D
nFE
Solution
Verified by Toppr

As we know,
ΔG0=nFE0, so it cannot be necessarily zero except H-electrode.

Also,
ΔG0=ΔH0TΔS0 and

At equilibrium,
ΔG0=RTlnK

Therefore, it is not necessarily equal to zero.

Option D is correct.

Electrical work done in one second is equal to electrical potential multiplied by total charge passed. If we want to obtain maximum work from a galvanic cell then charge has to be passed reversibly. The reversible work done by a galvanic cell is equal to decrease in its Gibbs energy and therefore, if the emf of the cell is E and nF is the amount of charge passed and ΔrG is the Gibbs energy of the reaction, then
ΔrG=nFE(cell)
It may be remembered that E(cell) is an intensive parameter but ΔrG is an extensive thermodynamic property and the value depends on n. Thus, if we write the reaction.
