Identify the correct description for a redox reaction with a positive standard electrode potential:

\Delta G^\ominus = -nFE^\ominus

and

\Delta G^\ominus = -RT \ln K

(1)

\Delta G^\ominus

is negative and

K

is less than 1. (2)

\Delta G^\ominus

is negative and

K

is greater than 1. (3)

\Delta G^\ominus

is positive and

K

is less than 1. (4)

\Delta G^\ominus

is positive and

K

is greater than 1.
