    What is\[{{\text{G}}^{\text{o}}}\]at 298 K for the reaction,\[\text{2VO}_{2}^{+}(aq)+4{{H}^{+}}(aq)+Cd(s)\xrightarrow{{}}2V{{O}^{2+}}(aq)\]       \[+2{{H}_{2}}O(l)+C{{d}^{2+}}(aq)\]

    A) \[-271\,kJ\]        

    B)        \[1.403\,J\]        

    C)        \[-\text{ }135\text{ }kJ\]              

    D)        \[-\text{ }115\text{ }kJ\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[2{{e}^{-}}+2VO_{2}^{+}+4{{H}^{+}}\xrightarrow{{}}2V{{O}^{2+}}+2{{H}_{2}}O;\] \[*\,\,\Delta {{E}^{o}}=1.0\,V\]                                 ?(i) \[Cd\xrightarrow{{}}C{{d}^{2+}}2{{e}^{-}};\] \[^{*}\Delta {{E}^{o}}=+\,0.40\,V\]?(ii) On adding Eq (i) and (ii), we get \[2VO_{2}^{+}+4{{H}^{+}}+Cd\to 2V{{O}^{2+}}+2{{H}_{2}}O+C{{d}^{2+}};\] \[E_{cell}^{o}=1.0+0.40=1.40\,V\] \[\Delta {{G}^{o}}=-nFE_{cell}^{o}=-2\times 96500\times 1.4\] \[=-270200\,J=-271\,kJ\] * Since in this \[\text{Q}\text{.}{{\text{E}}^{\text{o}}}\]values are not given, it is incorrect. These values are taken from reference books.
