Answer:
Explanation:
1. the 1/2 reaction that occurs at the cathode
3Cl2(g) +6e^- -------------> 6Cl^- (aq)
2 the 1/2 reaction that occurs at the anode
2MnO2(s) + 8OH^-(aq) ----------> 2MnO4^- (aq) + 4H2O(l) +6e^-
2MnO2(s) + 8OH^-(aq) ----------> 2MnO4^- (aq) + 4H2O(l) +6e^-
E0 = -0.59v
3Cl2(g) +6e^- -------------> 6Cl^- (aq)
E0 = 1.39v
3Cl2 (g) + 2MnO2 (s) + 8OH^(−) (aq)---------> 6Cl^(−) (aq) + 2MnO4^(−) (aq) + 4H2O (l)
E0cell = 0.80v
(1) MO₂(s) + C(s) → M(s) + CO₂ (g), ΔG₁ = 288.9 kJ/mol
(2) C(s) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g), ΔG₂ = -394.4 kJ/mol
By adding both equations 1 + 2 we get the coupled reaction:
MO₂(s) + 2 C(s) + O₂(g) → M(s) + 2 CO₂(g)
ΔG⁰ = ΔG₁ + ΔG₂
= 288.9 + (-394.4) = -105.5 kJ/mol = -105500 J/mol
Temperature T = 25 + 273.15 = 298.15 K
Molar gas constant R = 8.314 J/mol.K
