for a reaction to b spontaneous what is the value for E09(CELL POTENTIAL)? I MEAN POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE?

Solution

For the spontaneous redox reaction in electrochemical cell, Gibbs free energy ΔG° must be negative, in accordance with the following equation:

ΔG°cell = −nFE°cell
If E°cell > 0, then the process is spontaneous. .E°cell should be positive for spontaneous reaction.
