Question:

Another type of battery is the alkaline zinc-mercury cell,

in which the cell reaction isZn(s) + HgO(s)  Hg() + ZnO(s) E = +1.35 V

(a) What is the standard free energy change for this reaction?

(b) The standard free energy change in a voltaic cell is the maximum electrical energy that the cell can produce.
If the reaction in a zinc-mercury cell consumes 1.00 g mercury oxide, what is the standard free energy change?

(c) For how many hours could a mercury cell produce a 10-mA current if the limiting reactant is 3.50 g mercury oxide?
