Which factor would NOT make a redox reaction spontaneous?
A.E°cathode < E°anode
B.A strong oxidizing agent present
C.E°cell > 0
D.ΔG° < 0
Explanation
Core Concept
E°cell = E°cathode − E°anode would be negative, meaning the reverse direction is favored. A higher cathode potential is required for spontaneity.
Correct Answer
AE°cathode < E°anode
