Detailed Solution

From given data E0Cd+2/Cd is  less than   E0Ag+/Ag. So,

E0Cell=E0CathodeE0Anode Ecell0=EAg0ECd0 Ecell0=0.80 V-(-0.40 V)=1.20 V

Maximum work done by galvanic cell is equal to decrease in its Gibbs free energy

(ΔG0 ) is  thermodynamic quantity obtained from E0 values. 

 ΔG0=nFEcell0                          n= no of electrons involved

G=2×96500×1.2=-231.6 kJ
