OpenStudy (cheska_p):

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

OpenStudy (jfraser):

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

OpenStudy (cheska_p):

could you explain how that would then effect the delta S

OpenStudy (jfraser):

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

OpenStudy (jfraser):

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

OpenStudy (cheska_p):

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

OpenStudy (jfraser):

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

OpenStudy (cheska_p):

increase, so it's positive?
