Consider this rxn which has a DG° = +0.4 kJ/mol. A + B « C + D
1 M A,1 M B,0.1 M C and 0.1 M D are added to a container at room temperature.Which of the following statements is true?
A) The reaction will proceed in the forward direction to reach equilibrium.
B) The reaction will proceed in the backward direction to reach equilibrium.
C) The reaction will not proceed in either direction; it is already at equilibrium.
D) Cannot be determined from the information provided.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction will proceed in the forward direction to reach equilibrium because the DG° is positive, indicating that the products are less stable than the reactants.
