A chemical reaction will occur spontaneously at constant pressure and temperature, if the free energy is________________?

Correct answer: C. Negative

  • A. Zero
  • B. Positive
  • C. Negative
  • D. None of these

Explanation

At constant temperature and pressure, a spontaneous change has a negative change in Gibbs free energy, ΔG < 0. ΔG = 0 indicates equilibrium, while a positive value means the forward change is non-spontaneous.
