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

Answer:
Explanation:-
For any standard cell reaction associated with the passage of n electrons and an emf of E, the change in Gibbs energy is
The 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 to be negative.
