Problem

A redox reaction involves

n = 2

electrons and has a standard cell potential of

E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = +0.34\,\text{V}

at 298 K. Using

F = 96\,485\,\text{C mol}^{-1}

, calculate the standard free energy change

\Delta G^\circ

(in kJ mol

^{-1}

) and state whether a cell constructed from this reaction would operate as galvanic or electrolytic under standard conditions.
