ⓐ ΔG° ⓑ K

ⓐ

STRATEGY

1. Assign oxidation numbers.
2. Split the redox reaction into oxidation and reduction half-reactions and find E°.
3. Determine the number of electrons cancelled out when balancing the equation to find n.
4. Substitute into Equation 17.2. Note that ΔG° will be in joules since the Faraday constant is in joules.

ΔG° = -nFE°                                      (17.2)

ⓑ

STRATEGY

Substitute into Equation 17.3.

E° = \frac{(0.0257  V)}{n}ln K        (at 25°C)          (17.3)
