MCQ
For a spontaneous reaction the $\Delta G,$ equilibrium constant $ (K)$ and $E_{Cell}^o$ will be respectively
  • $ - ve,\, > 1,\, + ve$
  • B
    $ + ve,\, > 1,\, - ve$
  • C
    $ - ve,\, < 1,\, - ve$
  • D
    $ - ve,\, > 1,\, - ve$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$ - ve,\, > 1,\, + ve$
a
we know $\Delta G =- RT \ln K =- nF E ^{\circ}$

We know for a spontaneous reaction

$\Delta G \,<\,0 \text {. }$

$\therefore- RT \ln K \,<\,0$

$\therefore \ln K\,>\,0$

$\therefore K\,>\,1$

and $- nF E ^{\circ}<0$

$\therefore E _{\text {cell }}^{\circ}\,>\,0$
