for the reaction y-> x at standard conditions with [Y]=1 M and [X]= 1 M, Delta G

Question

for the reaction y-> x at standard conditions with [Y]=1 M and [X]= 1 M, Delta G is initally a large negative number. As the reaction proceeds, [Y] decreases and [X] increases until the system reaches equilibrium. How do the values of Delta G and Delta G* change as the reaction equilibrates? a. Delta G becomes less negative and Delta G* stays the same b. Delta G becomes positive and Delta G* becomes positive c. Delta G stays the saem and Delta G* becomes less negative d. DeltaG reaches zero and Delta G* becomes more negative

Explanation / Answer

When the reaction occurs, delta G will go opposite from where it is, Since it is negative it will go to being positive. DeltaG* will also go to the positive direction.
