anod(-) Sn0/Sn+2 // Cu+2/Cu0 catod(+)
anod(-): Sn0 __-2e-_> Sn+2 oxidare
catod(+): Cu+2__+2e-_> Cu0 reducere
=> F.em. (E0)= E(catod) - 7
E(anod) = -0,136 - (-0,140) = 0,004 V
=> pila electrica slaba, dar functionala
∆G = -zxFxE(0)
z = nr e- transferati prin circuitul intern al pilei = 2
F = nr. lui Faraday = 96485 C
E(0) = 0,004 V, unde 1 V = 1 J/C
=> ∆G = -2x96485x0,004 = -771,88 J = -0,772 kJ
Cand E(0) + si ∆G - => pila spontana
