Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What does a positive cell potential indicate?
  • Step 1: Understand what 'cell potential' means. It refers to the voltage produced by a chemical reaction in a cell.
  • Step 2: Know that a positive cell potential means the voltage is greater than zero.
  • Step 3: Recognize that a positive voltage indicates that the reaction can occur naturally without needing extra energy.
  • Step 4: Conclude that when the cell potential is positive, the reaction is spontaneous, meaning it will happen on its own under standard conditions.
