Question

A reaction is product-favored when A) Q < K and _rG < 0. B) Q < K and _rG > 0. C) Q = K and _rG = 0. D) Q > K and _rG < 0. E) Q > K and _rG > 0.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When Q < K, it means there are more reactants than products, and the reaction will proceed in the forward direction to reach equilibrium. When _rG < 0, it means the Gibbs free energy change is negative, indicating that the reaction is spontaneous and favors the products. Therefore, A is the correct choice.
