The rusting of iron takes place as follows `2H^(+)+2e^(-)+1//2O_(2)rarrH_(2)O(l), E^(@)=+1.23 V` `Fe^(2+)+2e^(-)rarrFe(s), E^(@)=-0.44V` Calculate `DeltaG^(@)` for the net processA. `-322 kJ mol^(-1)`B. `-161 kJ mol^(-1)`C. `-152 kJ mol^(-1)`D. `-76 kJ mol^(-1)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`Fe(s)rarrFe^(2+)+2e^(-), " "E^(@)=0.44 V`
`(2H^(+)+2e^(-)+1//2O_(2)rarrH_(2)O(l), " "E^(@)=+1.23 V)/(Fe(s) +2H^(+)+1//2O_(2)rarrFe^(2+)+H_(2)O,)`
`E_("cell")^(@)=0.44+1.23=1.67 V`
`thereforeDeltaG^(@)="-nF " E_("cell")^(@)=-2xx96500xx1.67=-322 kJ`.
