Answer:
This is as a result of their property type
ΔG is extensive and E is Intensive. The explanation is as given below
Explanation:
Basically both ΔG and the cell potential or the electromotive force (E.M.F) has some disparity especially in their spontaneity, for spontaneous reaction ΔG = -ve while E = +ve and vice versa. But the most important disparity is their state function i.e one is intensive and the other is extensive property.
ΔG is an example of an extensive property, they are properties whose value is dependent on the volume or the size of the system. other examples are mass, volume etc.
E on the other hand is an intensive property, they are properties whose value is not dependent on the size of the system. As such, this differences explains why ΔG for a reaction scale with a reaction quantity and E does not.
