MCQ
$Co |\, Co^{+2}\, (C_2)\, | | \,Co^{+2}(C_1) |\, Co$  for this cell, $\Delta G$ is negative if
  • A
    $C_2 > C_1$
  • $C_1 > C_2$
  • C
    $C_1 = C_2$
  • D
    Unpredictable

Answer

Correct option: B.
$C_1 > C_2$
b
For $\Delta \mathrm{G}\,-\,\mathrm{ve}$

${E}_{\text {cell }}=+\,\mathrm{ve}$

$\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{cell}}=\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{cell}}^{\circ}-\frac{0.0591}{2} \log \frac{\mathrm{C}_{2}}{\mathrm{C}_{1}}$

$\mathrm{C}_{1}>\mathrm{C}_{2}$ then $\mathrm{E}_{\text {cell }}=+\mathrm{ve}$
