A reaction with a positive ΔG value can be made energetically favorable by increasing the:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increasing the starting concentration of reactants will shift the reaction towards the products, decreasing the Q value and making it more energetically favorable. This is in accordance with Le Chatelier's principle, which states that a system will adjust to counteract any stress placed upon it. A and B are incorrect because increasing ΔG°´ will make the reaction less favorable, and increasing the starting concentration of products will shift the reaction towards the reactants, making it less favorable.
