Which of the following statements is not correct ?
Options
- AG^ is an extensive property.
- BE^ cell is an intensive property.
- CFor a chemical reaction to be spontaneous G must be - ve .
- DElectrical work is equal to G
Correct answer
D. Electrical work is equal to G
Step-by-step solution
Gibbs free energy ( G ) and standard Gibbs free energy change ( G^ ) depend on the quantity of the substance, hence they are extensive properties. Standard cell potential ( E^ _ cell ) is independent of the amount of substance, hence it is an intensive property. For a spontaneous reaction at constant temperature and pressure, the change in Gibbs free energy ( G ) must be negative ( G The reversible electrical work done by a galvanic cell is equal to the decrease in its Gibbs free energy. Therefore, electrical work
