$500^oC$ તાપમાને એલ્યુમિનિયમ ઓકસાઈડ $(Al_2O_3)$ ના વિદ્યુતવિભાજય રીડકશન માટે પોટેન્શિયલમાં જરૂરી ઓછામાં ઓછો તફાવત........ $V$ છે.
at cathode \(\left[\mathrm{Al}^{3+} \rightarrow \mathrm{Al}+3 \mathrm{e}^{-}\right] \times 4\)
Net reaction
\(4 \mathrm{Al}+6O^{2-} \rightarrow 3O_{2}+4 \mathrm{Al}\)
\(\frac 43 A l+2O^{2} \rightarrow O_{2}+\frac 43 A l\)
\(n=\frac {12}3=4\)
\(\Delta G^{\circ}=-n F E^{\circ}\)
\(\Delta \mathrm{G}^{\circ}=+960 \mathrm{kJ} \mathrm{mol}^{-1}\)
\(=960 \times 1000 \mathrm{J} \mathrm{mol}^{-1}\)
\(n=4\)
\(\mathrm{F}=96500\) Coulomb
\(960 \times 1000=-4 \times 96500 \times E^{\circ}\)
\(E^{\circ}=-\frac{960000}{4 \times 96500}\)
