I2 + 2e- ==> 2I- Eº = =0.54 V ... Reduction half reaction
Sn ===> Sn2+ + 2e- Eº = -0.14 V ... Oxidation half reaction
____________________________
Sn(s) + I2(s) ==> Sn2+(aq) + 2I-(aq) ... overal reaction Eº = 0.54 + 0.14 = 0.68 V
Maximum work from a galvanic cell = ∆G
∆Gº = -nFEº =
where n = moles electrons transferred = 67.0 g Sn x 1 mol Sn/119 g = 0.563 moles Sn
moles of electrons = 0.563 mol Sn x 2 mol e-/mol Sn = 1.13 mol e-
F = Faraday's constant = 96,485 C/mol e-
E = cell voltage = 0.68 V = 0.68 J/C
∆Gº = -(1.13 mol e-)(96,485 C/mol e-)(0.68 J/C)
∆Gº = 74,139 J = maximum electrical work
