On the basis of the information available from the

\frac{4}{3} \mathrm{Al}+\mathrm{O}_2 \longrightarrow \frac{2}{3} \mathrm{Al}_2 \mathrm{O}_3, \Delta G=-827 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}

\mathrm{O}_2

, the minimum emf required to carry out an electrolysis of

\mathrm{Al}_2 \mathrm{O}_3

is :

\left(\mathrm{F}=96500 \mathrm{~C} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\right.

)

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

2.14 \mathrm{~V}

Option B (

2.14 \mathrm{~V}

) is correct because the minimum EMF required is calculated from the Gibbs free energy change and the number of electrons transferred in the reaction.
