`DeltaG` for the reaction `(4)/(3)Al+O_(2)to(2)/(3)Al_(2)O_(3)` is -772kJ `mol^(-1)` of `O_(2)`. Calculate the minimum EMF in volts requird to carry out and electrolysis of `Al_(2)O_(3)`

Answer» `AltoAl^(3+)+3e^(-)`
`(4)/(3)mol" of "Al=(4)/(3)xx3mol" "e^(-)=4mol" "e^(-)`
n=4
`DeltaG=-nFE`
`-772xx1000J=-4xx96500xxE" "thereforeE=(772xx1000)/(4xx96500)=2.0V`
