Determining work done of motor


Response to the following problem:

An electrochemical cell, in which the reaction

Cu + Hg2SO4 → 2Hg + CuSo4

Takes place, is connected to a motor having a back emf only slightly smaller than the emf of the cell. The emf of this cell is given by Eq., with

ε20 = 0.3497V, α = -6.35*10-4V/deg, β = -2.4*10-6V/deg2, and γ = 0

If the cell is kept at a constant temperature of 25°C and 0.1 mol of copper reacts, then how much work is done on the motor?
