When K is greater than 1, Ecell is positive and deltaG is negative.
When K is less than 1, Ecell is negative and deltaG is positive.
Can someone explain the effect of K on Ecell and deltaG conceptually?

Re: Spontaneity in regards to Ecell and deltaG
The larger the K value, the larger Ecell will be and the larger the magnitude of the Negative delta G value.
The smaller the K value, the smaller Ecell will be and the larger the magnitude of the Positive delta G value
The smaller the K value, the smaller Ecell will be and the larger the magnitude of the Positive delta G value
