Answer:

-69 kJ

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Standard cell potential (E°cell): +0.24 V

Electrons involved (n): 3 mol

Step 2: Calculate the standard Gibbs free energy change (ΔG°) for the voltaic cell

We will use the following expression.

ΔG° = -n × F × E°cell

where,

F is Faraday's constant (96,485 C/mol e⁻)

ΔG° = -n × F × E°cell

ΔG° = -3 mol e⁻ × 96,485 C/mol e⁻ × 0.24 V

ΔG° = -69 kJ
