Question

A cell having following cell reaction has positive Gibbs free energy change. What does it indicate?

2 A ³⁺ (aq) + 3 C (s) → 2 A (s) + 3 C ²⁺ (aq)

• A. It shows that the energy change are governed by Le chatelier's principle
• B. It show that for the given cell reaction to take place energy is to be supplied.
• C. It show that for the given cell reaction is spontaneous.
• D. It show that during given cell reaction to take place energy is released.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

It show that for the given cell reaction to take place energy is to be supplied.

It shows that reaction is a non- spontaneous since Gibbs free energy is positive.
