In the relationship ΔG = -nFE°,what is the value of n for the reaction shown below?
3 Cu²⁺⁽^aq) + 2 Al(s) → 3 Cu(s) + 2 Al³⁺(aq)

Question

In the relationship ΔG = -nFE°,what is the value of n for the reaction shown below? 3 Cu²⁺⁽^aq)+ 2 Al(s)→ 3 Cu(s)+ 2 Al³⁺(aq)

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The value of n is the number of moles of electrons transferred in the balanced redox reaction. In this reaction, 6 electrons are transferred: 3 Cu^2+ ions gain 2 electrons each (total 6 electrons) to form 3 Cu(s), and 2 Al atoms lose 3 electrons each (total 6 electrons) to form 2 Al^3+.
