Question: 96

6. At standard temperature and pressure, a chemical process is at equilibrium. What is the free energy of reaction (ΔG) for this process?

  • A. ΔG > 0
  • B. ΔG < 0
  • C. ΔG = 0
  • D. There is not enough information to determine the free energy of the reaction.

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

Standard temperature and pressure indicates 0°C and 1 atm. Gibbs free energy is temperature dependent, but if a reaction is at equilibrium, ΔG = 0.
