Use the reduction potentials, the unbalanced half reactions and the unbalanced chemical equation below to find ΔG° in kJ for the reaction:
Reaction E° (V)
Cu+(aq) + e− → Cu(s) 0.521
Al3+(aq) + e− → Al(s) -1.662
Cu+(aq) + Al(s) → Cu(s) + Al3+(aq)
E cell was found (marked correct) to be: 2.183 V
My attempt:
ΔG°= -n(F)(Ecell)
ΔG°=-(1)(9.649E4C/mol)(2.138V)
ΔG°= -206295.62 J
ΔG°= -206 kJ/mol
However, this will only give me the answer in kJ/mol. How can I figure out ΔG° in kJ with just the information provided? Any guidance is very appreciated! Thank you.
