For the electrochemical cell,M|M+| |X|X−, E0M+/M=0.44 Vand E0X/X−=0.33 V
From these data one can deduce that:
M|M+||X|X−
EoM+/M = 0.44
EoX/X− = 0.33
M→ M+ + E− --- (1)
X + e−→ X− ---- (2)
Adding 1 and 2
M + X → M+ +X−
Eo = EoR − EoL
=−0.11
ΔGo = −nFEo
=+ve
Therefore the reaction is spontaneous in opposite direction
M+ +X− → M + X
