Consider the redox reaction \(\text{Fe(s)} + \text{Cu}^{2+}(aq) \rightarrow \text{Fe}^{2+}(aq) + \text{Cu(s)}\). The standard reduction potentials are \(E^{\circ}_{\text{Fe}^{2+}/\text{Fe}} = -0.44\ \text{V}\) and \(E^{\circ}_{\text{Cu}^{2+}/\text{Cu}} = +0.34\ \text{V}\). (i) Calculate the standard cell potential \(E^{\circ}_{\text{cell}}\), the standard Gibbs free energy change \(\Delta G^{\circ}\) and the equilibrium constant \(K\) at \(298\ \text{K}\). (ii) Assuming the enthalpy change for the reaction is approximately \(\Delta H^{\circ} = -1.0\times10^{5}\ \text{J\ mol}^{-1}\), estimate the equilibrium constant at \(350\ \text{K}\) using the van\'t Hoff equation.

Answer Options

Correct Answer A. E^{\circ}_{\text{cell}} = 0.78\ \text{V}; \Delta G^{\circ} \approx -1.5\times10^{5}\ \text{J\ mol}^{-1}; K_{298\text{K}} \approx 1\times10^{26}; K_{350\text{K}} \approx 3\times10^{23}
B. E^{\circ}_{\text{cell}} = 0.68\ \text{V}; \Delta G^{\circ} \approx -1.2\times10^{5}\ \text{J\ mol}^{-1}; K_{298\text{K}} \approx 2\times10^{25}; K_{350\text{K}} \approx 5\times10^{22}
C. E^{\circ}_{\text{cell}} = 0.88\ \text{V}; \Delta G^{\circ} \approx -1.7\times10^{5}\ \text{J\ mol}^{-1}; K_{298\text{K}} \approx 5\times10^{26}; K_{350\text{K}} \approx 1\times10^{24}
D. E^{\circ}_{\text{cell}} = 0.70\ \text{V}; \Delta G^{\circ} \approx -1.4\times10^{5}\ \text{J\ mol}^{-1}; K_{298\text{K}} \approx 3\times10^{25}; K_{350\text{K}} \approx 2\times10^{23}
