If for a given chemical reaction at 298 K, the change in free energy,  $\Delta$G, is more negative than the change in the standard free energy, $\Delta$G $\circ$ , then ________

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If the change in free energy is more negative than the standard free energy change, then Q (the reaction quotient) must be less than K (the equilibrium constant). This means that there are not enough products and the reaction will proceed in the forward direction to make more product until equilibrium is reached. Therefore, the correct answer is D) Q < K and more product is being produced.
