Carbon–oxygen bond. A carbon–oxygen bond is a polar covalent bond between carbon and oxygen. Oxygen has 6 valence electrons and prefers to either share two electrons in bonding with carbon, leaving the 4 nonbonding electrons in 2 lone pairs :O: or to share two pairs of electrons to form the carbonyl functional group.

Answer: When the reaction reaches equilibrium, the cell potential will be 0.00 V

Explanation:

Equilibrium state is the state when reactants and products are present but the concentrations does not change with time.

The equilibrium is dynamic in nature and the reactions are continuous in nature. Rate of forward reaction is equal to the rate of backward reaction.

The standard emf of a cell is related to Gibbs free energy by following relation:

$\Delta G=-nFE^0$
