@JFraser , I have a question about "Feasible synthesis" paired with a set of balanced equations and a value for each equation's standard free energy formation, but I have no clue what it means by "feasible."

Question

OH

jfraser · Answer

without specifics, it probably just means "reasonable". if they want you to use the $\Delta G$ values to build a reaction out of smaller reactions, the most feasible is probably the simplest series of steps

The way they put the problem is an obtuse way to talk about it IMO, but I guess-yeah, which delta G is favorable/whether a reaction is spontaneous or not? 

$$\triangle G^{\circ}<0, \rm \ spontaneous. $$$$\triangle G^{\circ}>0, \rm \ nonspontaneous.$$$$\triangle G^{\circ}=0, \ \rm Reaction\  is\  at\  equilibrium. $$

Alright, got it, it was that. Thank you!
