Question

Which of the following are true statements ?
a) A positive value of G for a process means, that processis spontaneous and can perform a maxium quantity of work on thesurroundings equal to the magnitude of G b) A positive value of G for a process means thatprocess is reactant favored c) If G for a process is 500 kJ, then at most500 kJ of work can be done on the surroundings by theprocess. d) Coupling a nonspontaneous reaction to a spontaneous one inorder to make it proceed is not possible in biologicalsystems Which of the following are true statements ?

Explanation / Answer

(B) should be correct: Since G is positive, this means thatthe forward reaction is thermodynamically unfavourable. Thus, thereactant is favoured. Hope this helps!
