Free energy___________________?

Correct answer: D. All A, B. and C

  • A. Decreases in all spontaneous (or irreversible) processes
  • B. Change during a spontaneous process has a negative value
  • C. Remains unchanged in reversible processes carried at constant temperature and pressure
  • D. All A, B. and C

Explanation

A suitable free energy decreases for an irreversible spontaneous change and remains constant for a reversible change at the relevant fixed conditions. In particular, ΔG is negative for a spontaneous constant-temperature, constant-pressure process and zero for a reversible one, so all three statements are intended to apply.
