Question

3. Answer in brief.
i.
Obtain the relationship between∆G
of a reaction and the equilibrium
constant.​

Answer 1

Answer:

We have identified three criteria for whether a given reaction will occur spontaneously: ΔSuniv > 0, ΔGsys < 0, and the relative magnitude of the reaction quotient Q versus the equilibrium constant K. Recall that if Q < K, then the reaction proceeds spontaneously to the right as written, resulting in the net conversion of reactants to products. Conversely, if Q > K, then the reaction proceeds spontaneously to the left as written, resulting in the net conversion of products to reactants. If Q = K, then the system is at equilibrium, and no net reaction occurs. Table 19.7.1 summarizes these criteria and their relative values for spontaneous, nonspontaneous, and equilibrium processes.
