ΔG° = 0 for a reaction indicates that _____.
A) the reaction favors formation of products
B) the reaction is at equilibrium
C) the reaction is nonspontaneous
D) the reaction is spontaneous
E) the reaction cannot reach equilibrium

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When ΔG° = 0, it means that the free energy change of the reaction under standard conditions is zero. This only happens at equilibrium, when the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal and there is no net change in the concentrations of the reactants and products.
