Why aren't cell potentials multiplied by coefficients?

[demonelite123]

Explain why cell potentials are not multiplied by the coefficients in the balanced redox equation. (Use the relationship between delta G and cell potential to do this.)

i know that cell potential is an intensive property but i don't know how to explain why you don't multiply the the cell potentials by the coeffients using delta G.

Do you know the relationship you are asked to use?

 

[demonelite123]

it doesn't specify in the question but I'm pretty sure you use the equation:

delta G = -nFE

n = moles of electrons transferred
F = Faraday
E = cell potential
