Chemistry Question on Electrochemistry
Given below are two statements labeled Assertion A and the labeled as Reason R :
Assertion A : In the equation ΔrG=−nFEcell value of ΔrG depends on n.
Reasons R : Ecell is an intensive property and ΔrG is an extensive property.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options below :
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false but R is true.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Solution
The correct option is (D): Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
ΔrG=−nFEcell
Ecell is an intensive property and ΔrG is an extensive property as it depends on the number of eθ transferred in cell reaction.
