Question:
Suppose that we wish to study the possible galvanic corrosion between zinc and chromium, so we set up the following cell:
What is the chemical reaction that takes place, and what is the standard free energy change for that reaction?
Strategy
To calculate the free energy change, we must know two things: the cell potential and the number of electrons transferred in the reaction. Then we can simply use these values in Equation 13.5 to obtain the free energy change.
Equation 13.5
