If the equilibrium constant K_c is greater than 1 for a given reaction, predict the signs of ΔG° and E° at the same temperature.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If K_c is greater than 1, it means that the concentration of products is greater than the concentration of reactants, and therefore the reaction is thermodynamically favorable. This results in a negative ΔG° value. Additionally, according to the equation ΔG° = -nFE°, if ΔG° is negative, E° must be positive. Therefore, the correct answer is D, ΔG° < 0 and E° > 0.
