State Kohlrausch law of independent migration of ions. Derive the relationship between Gibbs energy of cell reaction and cell potential
Answers
Answer:
it states that the equivalent conductive of an electrolyte in a infinite dilution us equal to the sum of the conductance of anion and cation
rln btw Gibbs energy of cell reaction and cell potential
∆G°= -nfE°cell
Answer:
A] Kohlrausch law states that “at infinite dilution each ion migrates independent of co-ion and contributes to total molar conductivity of an electrolyte irrespective of the nature of other ion to which it is associated.”
B]
1.The electrical work done in a galvanic cell is the electricity (charge) passed multiplied by the cell potential.
Electrical work = amount of charge × cell potential
2. Charge of one mole electrons is F coulombs.
For the cell reaction involving n moles of electrons,
Charge passed = nF coulombs
3. Hence, electrical work = nFEcell
Electrical work done in a galvanic cell is equal to the decrease in Gibbs energy, – ∆G, of cell reaction. .
It then follows that
Electrical work done = − ∆G
4. Therefore, −∆G = nFEcell or ∆G = − nFEcell
Under standard state conditions, we write
∆G° = − nFE0cell
