19N.2.hl.TZ0.6e(iii)
Copper forms two chlorides, copper(I) chloride and copper(II) chloride.
Copper(I) chloride undergoes a disproportionation reaction, producing copper(II) chloride and copper.
2Cu+ (aq) → Cu (s) + Cu2+ (aq)
(e(iii))
Calculate the standard Gibbs free energy change, ΔGθ, to two significant figures, for the disproportionation at 298 K. Use your answer from (e)(i) and sections 1 and 2 of the data booklet.
