Cell reaction is spontaneous, when

  1. A \(E_{\text {red }}^{\circ}\) is negative
  2. B \(E_{\mathrm{red}}^{\circ}\) is positive
  3. C \(\Delta G^{\circ}\) is negative
  4. D \(\Delta G^{\circ}\) is positive
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\Delta G^{\circ}\) is negative

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\Delta G=\Delta H-T \Delta S\)
For a spontaneous celll reaction, \(\Delta H\) should be negative and \(\Delta S\) should be positive. Hence, \(\Delta G\) should be negative.
