Question 35
Energy ChangesWhich of these equations shows that a reaction is in equilibrium?
- A.ΔG = ΔH − TΔS
- B.ΔG < O
- C.ΔG = O
- D.ΔG > O
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: C (ΔG = O)
Explanation
At equilibrium there is no driving force in either direction, so the free energy change ΔG is zero.
