The Gibbs energy for the decomposition of `Al_(2)O_(3)` at `500^(@)C` is as follows: `(2)/(3)Al_(2)O_(3) rarr (4)/(3)Al + O_(2), Delta_(r)G = +966kJ mol^(-1)` The potential difference needed for electrolytic reeduction of `Al_(2)O_(3)` at `500^(@)C` is at least:A. `5.0V`B. `4.5V`C. `3.0V`D. `2.5V` |

Answer» Correct Answer - D `DeltaG =- nFE :. E = (-DeltaG)/(nF)` `E = (-966 xx 103)/(4 xx 96500) =- 0.25` `:.` The potential difference needed for the reduction `= 2.5V` |
