If for a given chemical reaction at 298 K, both the change in free energy, $\Delta$G, and the change in the standard free energy, $\Delta$G°, are positive with $\Delta$G $\Delta$G°, then ________

Question

If for a given chemical reaction at 298 K, both the change in free energy, $\Delta$G, and the change in the standard free energy, $\Delta$G°, are positive with $\Delta$G >$\Delta$G°, then ________

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When $\Delta$G > $\Delta$G°, it indicates that the reaction is not at equilibrium and is moving in the reverse direction, meaning Q > K and the product is turning back into reactant.
