Problem

A redox reaction has a standard cell potential of

E^{\circ}_{\text{cell}}=-0.25\,\text{V}

at 298 K. Which of the following statements is correct? a) The reaction is thermodynamically favored because

\Delta G^{\circ}

is negative. b) The reaction is at equilibrium because the magnitude of

E^{\circ}_{\text{cell}}

is small. c) The reaction is not thermodynamically favored because

\Delta G^{\circ}

is positive. d) The reaction will proceed spontaneously only if the reactant concentrations are far from

1\,\text{M}
