Question

For a chemical reaction, the free energy change $\text{(ΔG)}$ is negative. The reaction is

• A. A spontaneous reaction
• B. An equilibrium reaction
• C. A non-spontaneous reaction
• D. Characterised by $\text{r}_{\text{f}} \, \text{=} \, \text{r}_{\text{b}}$ (where, $\text{r}_{\text{f}}$ and $\text{r}_{\text{b}}$ are rates of forward and backward reactions respectively)

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

For spontaneous reaction, the free energy change $\text{(ΔG)}$ should be negative.
