Question
Consider the following voltaic cell at 298K. Select only the statements that are TRUE.
Mg (s) I Mg2+ (1.0 M) II A1³+ (1.0 M) I AI (s)
Al³+ (aq) + 3 e¯ →→AI (s)
Ered = -1.66 V
Mg2+ (aq) + 2 e¯ → Mg(s) Ered = -2.38 V
The standard AG° must be positive.
The reaction is spontaneous in the reverse direction.
The equilibrium constant, K, for this reaction will be greater than 1.
The standard Ecell must be positive.
