Question

8) Three cell A, B and C has equilibrium constant in the ratio 1:4 : 9 respectively. Arrange the following cells in the order of increasing Gibbs free energy.

Answer 1

The cells will be arranged as such 9 : 4: 1.

Explanation:

• The equilibrium constant that is used here is represented with k.

• The smaller the value of k the higher will be the value of energy according to Gibbs.

• So, 1 has the highest Gibbs free energy while 9 has the least.

• This is the energy of a chemical reaction.

• It is represented by G.
