Calculate the standard free energy change for the following reaction at 25°C.
Au(s) + Ca2+(aq.1M) → Au3+(aq. 1M) + Ca(s)
E°Au2+/Au = – 0.403 V.
E°Au2+/Cu = – 0.763 V.
Predict whether the reaction will be spontaneous or not at 25°C. Which of the above two half cells will act as an oxidizing agent and which one will be a reducing agent?
