ΔG = -nFE
where ΔG = change in gibbs free energy
           n = no.of electrons
           E = emf of the cell

Answer: \Delta G=-nFE

Explanation:-

For any standard cell reaction associated with the passage of n electrons and an emf of E, the change in Gibbs energy is

\Delta G=-nFE

The \Delta G is the change in Gibbs energy when the reaction occurs with the concentrations having the values employed in the cell.

A positive E means the reaction is operating spontaneously with the reactions occurring in the forward direction and this requires \Delta G to be negative.
