Question

in electrochemistry, if you have a positive E would delta G be negative?

Answer 1

Yes, because of the formula\[\Delta G = -nFE\]

Answer 2

could you explain how that would then effect the delta S

Answer 3

you'd have to look at a specific reaction to make any statement about delta S

Answer 4

USUALLY reactions that have a negative delta G have positive delta S, but it's not a guarantee

Answer 5

the reaction is AgNO3 -> Ag (plus) + NO3 (minus)

Answer 6

when you start with 1 molecule and create 2, is that an increase or decrease in entropy?

Answer 7

increase, so it's positive?
