Problem

A certain electrochemical cell is observed to deliver current spontaneously at 25 ∘ ⁣C25\,^{\circ}\!\text{C} until the reactants are depleted. Which set of thermodynamic indicators is most consistent with this observation? a) Ecell∘<0, ΔG∘<0, K>1E^\circ_{\text{cell}}<0,\ \Delta G^\circ<0,\ K>1 b) Ecell∘>0, ΔG∘>0, K>1E^\circ_{\text{cell}}>0,\ \Delta G^\circ>0,\ K>1 c) Ecell∘>0, ΔG∘<0, K>1E^\circ_{\text{cell}}>0,\ \Delta G^\circ<0,\ K>1 d) Ecell∘>0, ΔG∘<0, K<1E^\circ_{\text{cell}}>0,\ \Delta G^\circ<0,\ K<1
