What must be true for a spontaneous reaction in an electrochemical cell? The overall cell potential must be positive. The overall cell potential must be negative. The cathode’s standard reduction potential must be positive. The cathode’s standard reduction potential must be negative.

The overall cell potential must be positive.

definition

                    entropy is a measure of the randomness or the extent of disorder of a chemical process.

                      enthalpy is a measure of the heat change of a reaction occurring at a constant pressure.

measurement units:

                        entropy is measured in joule per kelvin (jk⁻¹)   whereas enthalpy is measured in joule per mole (jmol⁻¹)

requirements:

                            entropy has no requirements or limits, and its change is measured by the division between the heat change of the chemical process and the temperature.

                              in contrast, enthalpy can only be related to the heat change of the reaction under standard conditions.
