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\Delta_rG=-nFE_{cell} value of ΔrG\Delta_rG depends on n.
Reasons R : EcellE_{cell} is an intensive property and ΔrG\Delta_rG is an extensive property.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options below :

A

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

B

A is true but R is false.

C

A is false but R is true.

D

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Answer

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Explanation

Solution

The correct option is (D): Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
ΔrG=nFEcell\Delta_rG=-nFE_{cell}
EcellE_{cell} is an intensive property and ΔrG\Delta_rG is an extensive property as it depends on the number of eθe^{\theta} transferred in cell reaction.
