A redox reaction employed in an electrochemical cell has a negative . Which statement is true? a) E∘cell is positive b) K>1 E∘cell is positive c) K<1 E∘cell is negative d) K<1 E∘cell is negative e) K>1

d. K<1 E∘cell is negative

Explanation:

Since E⁰ = negative , ΔG = -nFE⁰ = -nF -ve = +ve.

Also, ΔG = -RTlnK

K = exp(-RTΔG)

Since ΔG = +ve, -RTΔG = -ve

K = 1/exp(RTΔG) < 1.

So our answer is  E⁰ cell is negative and K < 1
