Problem

For a redox reaction at 298 K that has a positive standard cell potential E∘>0E^{\circ}>0, which statement about the equilibrium constant KK for the reaction is most accurate? a) K=1K=1 because the reaction quotient QQ equals 1 under standard conditions. b) KK cannot be determined without knowing the initial concentrations of all species. c) K>1K>1 because the forward reaction is thermodynamically favored at standard conditions. d) K<1K<1 because a positive standard potential indicates that the reactants are more stable at equilibrium.
