Question
Calculate Ecell and ΔG for the following at 28°C :
Mg(s) + Sn2+( 0.04M ) → Mg2+( 0.06M ) + Sn(s)
E°cell = 2.23V. Is the reaction spontaneous ?

Solution
`Mg_(s) + Sn_(aq)^(2+) -> Mg_(aq)^(2+) + Sn_(s)`
`[Sn^(2+)] = 0.04M[Mg^(2+)] = 0.06M`
Q = `[Mg^(2+)]/[Sn^(2+)] = [0.06]/[0.04] = 1.5`
`E_(cell)^(°) = 2.23V`
R = 8.314 JK-1 mol-1
T = 28°C = 28 + 273 = 301K
n = 2
F = 96500 C/mol e-
∴ `E_(cell) = E_(cell)^(°) - [2.303 RT]/[nF] log_10 Q`
= `2.23 - [2.303 xx 8.314 xx 301]/[2 xx 96500] log_10 (1.5)`
= `2.23 - [2.303 xx 8.314 xx 301]/[2 xx 96500] xx (0.1760)`
= 2.23 - 0.005255
`E_(cell)` = -2.2247 V
ΔG = `nFE_(cell)`
ΔG = `-2 xx 96500 xx 2.2247`
ΔG = - 429367 J
∵ ΔG is negative therefore reaction is spontaneous.
