When the OG°' of a chemical reaction is positive (K'eq

Question

When the OG°' of a chemical reaction is positive (K'eq < 1.0)under standard conditions,
A)work can be done under these conditions.
B)reactants and products are at equilibrium.
C)the reaction is exothermic.
D)reactants predominate over products.
E)the reaction is spontaneous to the right.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the standard Gibbs free energy change (ΔG°') is positive, the reaction is non-spontaneous under standard conditions, meaning that reactants predominate over products, and the equilibrium constant (K'eq) is less than 1.
