Problem

For a redox process transferring n=3n = 3 electrons, the standard free energy change is ΔG∘=+180 kJ mol−1\Delta G^\circ = +180\,\text{kJ mol}^{-1} at 298 K. Determine the minimum magnitude of external voltage that must be applied per cell to drive this reaction under standard conditions (use F=96 485 C mol−1F = 96\,485\,\text{C mol}^{-1}), and classify the cell as galvanic or electrolytic when operating with this applied voltage.
