If ΔG (free energy change) for a chemical reaction is very large and negative, then the reaction is_______________________?

Correct answer: C. Very much feasible

  • A. Not feasible
  • B. Just feasible
  • C. Very much feasible
  • D. Unpredictable as ΔG is no measure of feasibility of a reaction

Explanation

A large negative ΔG indicates a strongly thermodynamically spontaneous or feasible forward reaction under the specified conditions. It does not indicate how fast the reaction occurs, which is a kinetic issue.
