Answer is = 1
A. The electrical work that a reaction can perform at constant pressure and temperature is equal to the reaction Gibbs energy.
This statement is correct. The maximum non-expansion work that a system can perform at constant temperature and pressure is given by the change in Gibbs free energy. This is especially relevant for electrochemical reactions where this non-expansion work appears as electrical work.
B. E°cell is dependent on the pressure.
This statement is incorrect. The standard cell potential, E°cell, is not dependent on pressure. It is dependent on the nature of the reactants and products (their identities and stoichiometric ratios), as well as temperature, but not pressure. The E°cell is calculated using standard conditions, which includes a standard pressure of 1 bar or approximately 1 atm.
\(C. \frac{dE^{\theta}cell}{dT}=\frac{\Delta_r S^{\theta}}{nF}\)
This statement is correct. This equation is derived from the Gibbs-Helmholtz equation, which describes the temperature dependence of the change in Gibbs free energy. In an electrochemical cell, the change in Gibbs free energy can be related to the cell potential.
D. A cell is operating reversibly if the cell potential is exactly balanced by an opposing source of potential difference.
This statement is correct. In a reversible electrochemical cell, the cell potential is exactly balanced by an external, opposing potential. This ensures that the reaction proceeds at an infinitesimally slow rate, allowing the system to maintain equilibrium at all times.
So, among these four statements, only one (Statement B) is incorrect.
