Given Ka(CH3COOH) = 10-5 M
Options
A.60
B.65.2
C.69.2
D.63.5
Solution
Considering the cell reaction
H2 + 2e → 2H+
Hg22+ + 2e → 2Hg (l) + 2Cl- (aq)
ᐃS = nF
= 2 × 96500 × 3.4 × 10-4 = 65.223 J/K/mole
H2 + 2e → 2H+
Hg22+ + 2e → 2Hg (l) + 2Cl- (aq)
ᐃS = nF
= 2 × 96500 × 3.4 × 10-4 = 65.223 J/K/moleCreate a free account to view solution
