Question

For the reaction, $H_2(g) + I_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2HI(g)$, the standard free energy is $\Delta G^{\ominus}$ > 0. The equilibrium constant (K) would be
(a) K = 0
(b) K > 1
(c) K = 1
(d) K < 1

Answer 1

Answer : k < 1

Explanation : Since G > 0 the reaction is non spontaneous hence equilibrium lies towards reactants
