- A: Convert the molar format of the Gibbs force of reaction, ΞkFnO2 [kJ/mol], into the electrical format, ΞkFeO2 [V].
- Which physicochemical constant is required? β The Faraday constant, F = eΒ·NA = 96,485.33 C/mol
- What is the meaning of the symbol zO2? β Charge number of O2 = 4
- How are the units of electric energy [J] and electric force [V] related? β V = J/C
- Express -460 kJ/mol O2 as electrical force in units of volt [V]. β -460 [kJ/mol]/(4Β·eΒ·NA [C/mol]) = -460 [kJ/mol]/(4Β·96,485.33 [C/mol]) = -0.00119189 kJ/C = -1.2 J/C = -1.2 V
- Why should we do that? β To relate the driving force of electron transfer to the pmf, we have to express both forces in identical motive units [MU], converting either the force of the chemical reaction from the molar format to the electrical format, or the pmf from the electrical to the molar format.
