cell potential
how can you tell if the reaction will favor the forward or reverse process from the E value?
Re: cell potential
When the Cell Potential is positive, this refers to a negative delta G and therefore a spontaneous reaction which proceed over time, not necessarily in a fast manner.

Re: cell potential
From the equation deltaG = -nFE, we can determine if a reaction is favored or not.
If E (cell potential) is positive, deltaG is negative and thus will be spontaneous.
If E is negative, deltaG will be positive and therefore non-spontaneous.
If E (cell potential) is positive, deltaG is negative and thus will be spontaneous.
If E is negative, deltaG will be positive and therefore non-spontaneous.

Re: cell potential
deltaG=-nFEcell
if Ecell is positive, delta G will be negative meaning the reaction is spontaneous. If Ecell is negative, deltaG will be positive meaning the reaction will not be spontaneous
if Ecell is positive, delta G will be negative meaning the reaction is spontaneous. If Ecell is negative, deltaG will be positive meaning the reaction will not be spontaneous

Re: cell potential
Delta G will be negative meaning the reaction is spontaneous, if Ecell is positive. However, if Ecell is negative, deltaG will be positive. This means that the reaction will not be spontaneous
Re: cell potential
If the E cell value is positive, the delta G is negative, and K is greater than one. If the E cell value is negative, the delta G is positive, and K is less than one.

Re: cell potential
When E is positive, delta G will be negative. This would mean that the reaction will be spontaneous. However, when E is negative, delta G will be positive. This would mean that the reaction will be non-spontaneous.

Re: cell potential
If the cell potential for a reaction is positive that means that delta G is negative meaning the reaction is spontaneous.

Re: cell potential
When the cell potential is positive it means the forward reaction will be favored as it is spontaneous. If the cell potential is negative, then the reverse reaction is spontaneous and will be favored.

Re: cell potential
When E is positive, the reaction will be spontaneous. However, when E is negative, the reaction will be nonspontaneous.

Re: cell potential
delta G=-nFE, so if there is a positive cell potential (E) then delta G is negative, making it a spontaneous reaction.

Re: cell potential
If the E value is positive, this means that the deltaG value is negative, so the process is spontaneous.

Re: cell potential
deltaG = -nFE, so if E is positive, deltaG would be negative, showing that the reaction is spontaneous. If E is negative, then deltaG is negative, showing that the reaction is not spontaneous.
