A reaction will tend to go in the forward direction when which of the following conditions is met? _______
(a) the ΔG of the forward reaction is less than 0
(b) the ΔG of the forward reaction is greater than 0
(c) the ΔG of the forward reaction is equal to 0
(d) the ΔG of the reverse reaction is less than 0
(e) the ΔG of the reverse reaction is equal to 0
For a reaction to proceed in forward direction, its value of must be negative, ie. less than zero. Thus, option A is correct. The value of is less than zero for forward reaction. and it is favored.
2, When of forward reaction is greater than zero, the recation is reactant favored, ie, backward reaction is favored.
3. When of forward reaction is equal to zero, then the reaction is in equilibrium.
4. When of backward reaction is less than zero, then backward reaction is favored. That is, formation of reactants is favored.
5. When of backward reaction is equal to zero, then the reaction is in equilibrium.
