हिन्दीIf the \( \text{E}^\circ_{\text{cell}} \) for a given reaction has a negative value, which of the following gives the CORRECT relationships for the values of \( \Delta \text{G}^\circ \) and \( \text{K}_{\text{eq}} \)?
View Answer & Solution
Correct answer · Option B
\( \Delta \text{G}^\circ > 0; \text{K}_{\text{eq}} < 1 \)
Explanation
Since \( \Delta \text{G}^\circ = -nFE^\circ_{\text{cell}} \) and \( \Delta \text{G}^\circ = -RT \ln K_{\text{eq}} \), a negative \( E^\circ_{\text{cell}} \) implies positive \( \Delta G^\circ \) and \( K_{\text{eq}} < 1 \).
