The reaction is sontaneous if the cell potential is

A

Positive

B

Negative

C

Zero

D

Infinite

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
For a reaction to be spontaneous `DeltaG` should be negative.
`DeltaG=-nFE^(@)` cell
From this reaction, `DeltaG` will be negative when `E^(@)` cell is positive.

Calculating the emf from standard potentials: A galvanic cell consists of an Al electrode in a 1.0M Al(NO_(3))_(3) solution and an Fe electrode in a 1.0M Fe(NO_(3))_(2) solution. Calculate the standard emf of this electrohemical cell at 25^(@)C . Also write the cell reaction. Strategy: From the table of standard electrode potentials, write the two reduction half reaction and standard electrode potentials for the cell. Change the direction of the half-cell reaction corresponding tol the smaller (or more negative) electrode potential. Multiply the when the half-reactions are added the electrons cancel. The sum of the half-reactions is the cell reaction. Add the electrode potentials to get the cell emf.
