This Class 12 Electrochemistry numerical explains how to calculate ΔG, ΔG° and Ecell for the Al‖Fe galvanic cell. The cell is represented as Al | Al³⁺ (0.01 M) || Fe²⁺ (0.02 M) | Fe, with standard electrode potentials E°(Al³⁺/Al) = –1.66 V and E°(Fe²⁺/Fe) = –0.44 V. Using the Nernst equation and the relation ΔG = –nFEcell, students can determine the cell potential and Gibbs free energy change. This numerical strengthens problem-solving skills, enhances conceptual understanding of Electrochemistry, and is ideal for CBSE Class 12 board exam preparation and assignment practice.
