First we will calculate free energy change:
ΔG₀ = ΔH₀ - (T * ΔS₀)
= - 793 kJ - (298 * - 0.319 kJ/K) = - 698 kJ
We know the relation between free energy change and cell potential is:
ΔG₀ = - n F E⁰ where
F = Faraday's constant = 96485 C/mol
n = 2 (given by equation that the electrons involved is 2)
ΔG₀ = - 2 x 96485 x E⁰
- 698 kJ = - 2 x 96485 x E⁰
E⁰ = (698 x 1000) / (2 x 96485) = 3.62 volts
25.9 kJ/mol. (3 sig. fig. as in the heat capacity.)

The heat capacity is the least accurate number in these calculation. It comes with three significant figures. As a result, round the final result to three significant figures. However, make sure you keep at least one additional figure to minimize the risk of rounding errors during the calculation.
Answer:
The chemical equation needs to be balanced so that it follows the law of conservation of mass. A balanced chemical equation occurs when the number of the different atoms of elements in the reactants side is equal to that of the products side.
