The spontaneous redox reaction in a voltaic cell has Ecell > 0, ΔG < 0, and K > 0. Ecell < 0, ΔG > 0, and K < 0. Ecell > 0, ΔG > 0, and K > 0. Ecell > 0, ΔG < 0, and K > 0. Ecell = 0, ΔG = 0, and K > 0.

Step 1
This option doesn't make sense because K cannot be negative. Also, if ΔG° is negative, the reaction is spontaneous, so Ecell should be positive. - Option 2: Ecell < 0, ΔG° < 0, and K < 0. This option also doesn't make sense because K cannot be negative. Also, if Show more…
