Gibbs free energy of mixing at constant pressure and temperature is always__________________?

Correct answer: D. - ve

  • A. 0
  • B.
  • C. + ve
  • D. - ve

Explanation

Mixing stable, unlike components at constant temperature and pressure lowers Gibbs free energy, so ΔGmix is negative. For an ideal mixture this follows from ΔGmix = RTΣxi ln xi, since each xi is less than one.
