Detailed Solution
ΔG0 = −nFE0From the reaction, n = 2ΔG0 = −296500 Ecello .........(1)Ecello = Ecathodeo − EanodeoZn+2 + 2e− → Zn, E0=−0.76VAg2O+H2O+2e¯ → 2Ag+2OH−, E0=+0.344VSRP value of Ag2O half cell is high ∴ it acts like cathodeThus … Anode ; Zn→Zn+2 +2e-; Cathode; Ag2O +H2O +2e-→ 2Ag +2OH-Zn +Ag2O+H2O → Zn+2 + 2Ag + 2OH− Ecello = +0.344−−0.76= + 1.104 VSubstituting the value in ---(1)ΔG0 = −296.5 1.104kJ= –213.072 kJ
