A reaction has a ΔG0rxn < 0. Which of the following can be concluded regarding the reaction? Please explain.
A. K > 1
B. K = 1
C. Q = 1
D. Q > K
E. Q > 1
Correct Answer: A. K > 1
Gibbs free energy ΔG0rxn < 0 means that reaction is spontaneous to the right side of the given reaction (product), hence K will be larger than zero. K = [products] / [reactants] > 1 for spontaneous reactions that means ΔG0rxn < 0
Gibbs free energy ΔG0rxn = 0 means reaction is in equilibrium state, K = 0
Gibbs free energy ΔG0rxn > 0, means reaction is non-spontaneous. K < 1
All above are by definitions only.
Hope this helped you!
