Oxidation reduction reactions with positive standard redox

Home » Bioenergetics and Metabolism » Bioenergetics and Metabolism Miscellaneous » Question

Oxidation reduction reactions with positive standard redox potential (?E⁰) have

1. positive ?G°
2. negative ?G°
3. positive ?E’
4. negative ?E’

Correct Option: B

Redox potential E₀ can be calculated by the ratio between Gibbs free energy and product of Faradays Number with number of participating moles. It implies that the value of Δ G° will be negative as Faraday’s constant is a positive number.
