Negative E
If standard potential is a negative number, does this mean the reverse process is spontaneous, where electrons flow from right to left instead of left to right?

Re: Negative E
Yes. I am pretty sure that it means that the reverse is spontaneous. If positive, then the forward is spontaneous.

Re: Negative E
When a reaction is spontaneous and the delta G is negative that means that free energy is available and not required in order for the forward reaction to occur.
