To understand what a negative value of \( E^\circ_{\text{cell}} \) indicates, we can break it down into a few key concepts in electrochemistry. ### Step 1: Understanding Standard Cell Potential The standard cell potential, \( E^\circ_{\text{cell}} \), is a measure of the driving force behind a redox reaction in an electrochemical cell. It indicates whether the reaction can occur spontaneously under standard conditions. ### Step 2: Relationship Between \( E^\circ_{\text{cell}} \) and Gibbs Free Energy The relationship between the standard cell potential and Gibbs free energy (\( \Delta G \)) is given by the equation: \[ ...
