Answer

(a) -0.26 V (b) -0.13 V (c) -0.065 V When number of electrons exchanged increases, magnitude of $E^{\circ}$ value decreases.

Work Step by Step

$\Delta G^{\circ}=-nFE^{\circ}_{cell}$ $\implies E^{\circ}_{cell}=-\frac{\Delta G^{\circ}}{nF}$ (a) When $n=1$, $E^{\circ}=-\frac{25000\,J}{(1)(96485\,C)}=-0.26\,V$ (b) When $n=2$, $E^{\circ}=-\frac{25000\,J}{(2)(96485\,C)}=-0.13\,V$ (c) When $n=4$, $E^{\circ}=-\frac{25000\,J}{(4)(96485\,C)}=-0.065\,V$ When number of electrons exchanged increases, magnitude of $E^{\circ}$ value decreases.
