Consider an electrochemical cell: $A_{(s)} | A^{n+}(aq, 2 \ M) || B^{2n+}(aq, 1 \ M) | B_{(s)}$. The value of $\Delta H^{\ominus}$ for the cell reaction is twice that of $\Delta G^{\ominus}$ at $300 \ K$. If the emf of the cell is zero,the $\Delta S^{\ominus}$ (in $J \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$) of the cell reaction per mole of $B$ formed at $300 \ K$ is. . . . . . . (Given: $\ln(2) = 0.7, R = 8.3 \ J \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$.)
