If for a given chemical reaction at 298 K, both the change in free energy, $\Delta$G, and the change in the standard free energy, $\Delta$G $\circ$ , are positive with $\Delta$G $\Delta$G $\circ$ , then ________

Question

If for a given chemical reaction at 298 K, both the change in free energy, $\Delta$G, and the change in the standard free energy, $\Delta$G $\circ$ , are positive with $\Delta$G >$\Delta$G $\circ$ , then ________

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When both ΔG and ΔG° are positive and ΔG > ΔG°, it indicates that the reaction quotient Q is greater than the equilibrium constant K, suggesting the system is beyond equilibrium towards products, and thus, the reaction may shift towards reactants to reach equilibrium.
