Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: In equation $\Delta_r G = -nFE_{\text{cell}}$,the value of $\Delta_r G$ depends on $n$.
Reason $R$: $E_{\text{cell}}$ is an intensive property and $\Delta_r G$ is an extensive property.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  • A
    $A$ is false but $R$ is true.
  • B
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$.
  • C
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true and $R$ is $NOT$ the correct explanation of $A$.
  • D
    $A$ is true but $R$ is false.

Given: $E^{\circ}_{Ag^{+}/Ag} = +0.80 \ V$ and $E^{\circ}_{Zn^{2+}/Zn} = -0.76 \ V$

Under what condition is $E_{cell} = 0$ or $\Delta_r G = 0$?

Identify the function of the salt bridge in an electrochemical cell.

The Gibbs energy for the decomposition of $Al_2O_3$ at $500^oC$ is as follows:
$\frac{2}{3} Al_2O_3 \rightarrow \frac{4}{3} Al + O_2$
$\Delta_rG = +960 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
The potential difference needed for the electrolytic reduction of aluminium oxide $(Al_2O_3)$ at $500^oC$ is at least ........ $V$.

On the basis of the information available from the reaction $\frac{4}{3} Al + O_2 \to \frac{2}{3} Al_2O_3$,$\Delta G = -827 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$ of $O_2$,the minimum emf required to carry out an electrolysis of $Al_2O_3$ is $............... \ V$
