Indicate for each of the following statements whether it applies to Ecell°, to Ecell, to both, or to neither: (a) decreases as the cell reaction progresses; (b) changes with temperature; (c) doubles when the coefficients of the equation are doubled; (d) can be calculated from K; (e) is a measure of how far the cell reaction is from equilibrium. Justify your answers.
Hey guys! I was wondering if anyone could explain part C of this problem?
Thank you!

Re: Textbook Problem 6.43
The answer would be neither. As long as the redox equation is correctly balanced, it makes no difference to Ecell* and Ecell what the stoichiometric coefficients are.

Re: Textbook Problem 6.43
In Lavelle's lecture he states that E does not change regardless of the number of electrons involves however we must change the sign if we need the spontaneous or nonspontaneous form.

Re: Textbook Problem 6.43
Standard cell potentials (E) and cell potentials (E) are intensive properties, meaning that the values do not change even when the half reaction is multiplied by a coefficient.
