Question

Cell reaction is spontaneous, when

$E^{\circ}_{red}$ is negative

$E^{\circ}_{red}$ is positive

$\Delta G^{\circ}$ is negative

$\Delta G^{\circ}$ is positive

Answer

$\Delta G^{\circ}$ is negative

Explanation

Solution

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