Calculate E°cell and indicate whether the overall reaction shown is spontaneous or nonspontaneous.
Co3+(aq) + e- 
Co2+(aq) ;E° = 1.82 V
MnO4-(aq) + 2H2O(l) + 3e- 
MnO2(s) + 4OH-(aq) ;E° = 0.59 V
Overall reaction:
MnO4-(aq) + 2H2O(l) + 3Co2+(aq) MnO2(s) + 3Co3+(aq) + 4OH-(aq)
A) E°cell = -1.23 V,spontaneous
B) E°cell = -1.23 V,nonspontaneous
C) E°cell = 1.23 V,spontaneous
D) E°cell = 1.23 V,nonspontaneous
E) E°cell = -0.05 V,nonspontaneous
