Identify the characteristics of a spontaneous reaction. A) ΔG° 0 C) K 1 D) all of the above E) none of the above

Question

Identify the characteristics of a spontaneous reaction. A) ΔG° < 0 B) ΔE°_cell > 0 C) K > 1 D) all of the above E) none of the above

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

- ΔG° < 0 indicates that the process is energetically favorable and spontaneous. - ΔE°_cell > 0 indicates that the reaction is exothermic (negative ΔH) and the disorder of the system (positive ΔS) increases, which is thermodynamically favored under certain conditions. - K > 1 indicates that the concentration of products is greater than that of reactants at equilibrium, which is favorable for a spontaneous reaction.
