Will the reaction A + B turn into C spontaneously "move" forward if the free energy of A + B is 25 units and the free energy of C is 30 units?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

For a reaction to spontaneously move forward, the change in free energy (ΔG) must be negative. In this case, ΔG = G(products) - G(reactants) = 30 units - 25 units = +5 units, which is positive, indicating the reaction is not spontaneous in the forward direction.
