The value of ΔG (kJ mol–1) for the given cell is (take 1 F = 96500 C mol–1)
The cell reaction is
Left electrode: M (s) ⇌ M2+ (s M) + 2 e¯
Right electrodes : M2+ (0.001 M) + 2e ¯ ⇌ M (s)
__________________________________________________
Net cell reaction : M(s) + M2+ (0.001 M) ⇌ M2+(s M) + M (s)
ΔG = – nFEcell = – 2 × 96500 × 0.059
= – 11387 J mol–1 – 11.4 kJ mol–1
