Question

If the ΔG value of a reaction is negative, what is true of the ΔG value of the reverse reaction?



ΔG > 0


ΔG < 0


ΔG = 0


ΔG fluctuates

Answer 1

When ΔG is negative, a process or chemical reaction proceeds spontaneously in the forward direction.
When ΔG is positive, the process proceeds spontaneously in reverse.
When ΔG is zero, the process is already in equilibrium, with no net change taking place over time.
