Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

If the E°cell for a given reaction has a negative value, then which of the following gives the correct relationships for the values of ΔG° and Keq?

A

ΔG° > 0; Keq < 1

B

ΔG° > 0; Keq > 1

C

ΔG° < 0; Keq > 1

D

ΔG° < 0; Keq < 1

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

ΔG° = -nFE° and ΔG° = -RT loge Keq. If E°cell is negative, ΔG° is positive, indicating Keq < 1.
