Free energy change at equilibrium is____________________?

Correct answer: A. Zero

  • A. Zero
  • B. Positive
  • C. Negative
  • D. Indeterminate

Explanation

At equilibrium, the system is at a minimum of Gibbs free energy under constant temperature and pressure, so the driving force for change is zero and ΔG = 0. A negative value would indicate that the process can proceed spontaneously toward equilibrium.
