The half-cell reaction for the corrosion,
2H++12O2+2eH2O;E=1.23 V
Fe2++2eFe(s);E=0.44 V
Find the G (in kJ) for the overall reaction.
  1. 322 kJ
  2. 76 kJ
  3. 161 kJ
  4. 152 kJ

A
322 kJ
B
161 kJ
C
76 kJ
D
152 kJ
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Fe(s)Fe2++2e;G1
2H++2e+12O2H2O(l);G2––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Fe(s)+2H++12O2Fe2++H2O;G3–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Applying G1+G2=G3
G3=(2F×0.44)+(2F×1.23)
=(2×96500×0.44)+(2×96500×1.23)= -322310\ J $
=322 kJ.
