Answer:

Physical change is a temporary change. A chemical change is a permanent change.

Explanation:

A Physical change affects only physical properties i.e. shape, size, etc. Chemical change both physical and chemical properties of the substance including its composition.

Calculate the standard reaction Gibbs free energy for the following cell reactions: (a) 2 Ce41(aq) 1 3 I2(aq) S 2 Ce31(aq) 1 I32

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

For a: The standard Gibbs free energy of the reaction is -347.4 kJ

For b: The standard Gibbs free energy of the reaction is 746.91 kJ

Explanation:

Relationship between standard Gibbs free energy and standard electrode potential follows:

$\Delta G^o=-nFE^o_{cell}$ ............(1)

For a:

The given chemical equation follows:

$2Ce^{4+}(aq.)+3I^{-}(aq.)\rightarrow 2Ce^{3+}(aq.)+I_3^-(aq.)$

Oxidation half reaction: $Ce^{4+}(aq.)\rightarrow Ce^{3+}(aq.)+e^-$ ( × 2)

Reduction half reaction: $3I^_(aq.)+2e^-\rightarrow I_3^-(aq.)$

We are given:

$n=2\\E^o_{cell}=+1.08V\\F=96500$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\Delta G^o=-2\times 96500\times (+1.80)=-347,400J=-347.4kJ$

Hence, the standard Gibbs free energy of the reaction is -347.4 kJ

For b:

The given chemical equation follows:

$6Fe^{3+}(aq.)+2Cr^{3+}+7H_2O(l)(aq.)\rightarrow 6Fe^{2+}(aq.)+Cr_2O_7^{2-}(aq.)+14H^+(aq.)$

Oxidation half reaction: $Fe^{3+}(aq.)\rightarrow Fe^{2+}(aq.)+e^-$ ( × 6)

Reduction half reaction: $2Cr^{2+}(aq.)+7H_2O(l)+6e^-\rightarrow Cr_2O_7^{2-}(aq.)+14H^+(aq.)$

We are given:

$n=6\\E^o_{cell}=-1.29V\\F=96500$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\Delta G^o=-6\times 96500\times (-1.29)=746,910J=746.91kJ$

Hence, the standard Gibbs free energy of the reaction is 746.91 kJ
