Which of the following formula is used to calculate the Gibbs free energy of an electrochemical reaction?(a) ΔG=-nFE^0cell(b) ΔG=+nFE^0cell(c) ΔG=-nFEcell(d) ΔG=+nFEcellI got this question in class test.Asked question is from Modern Theory Principles in section Modern Theory Principles of Corrosion Engineering

Answer»

Right option is (c) ΔG=-nFEcell

The explanation: ΔG=-nFEcell where N is the electrons PARTICIPATED in the reaction, F is the FARADAY CONSTANT (96500 COULOMBS), Ecell is the overall cell potential and E^0cell is the standard cell potential.
