Question

Select all of the following statements that are false about Go and G:

a) If the reaction has a large negative Go value, the reaction must reach equilibrium at a small extent of reaction value.

b) Go and G can have different values, they don't even have to have the same sign.

c) For a reaction that reaches equilibrium, the minimum value of free energy must be at the equilibrium point.

d) Go and G have the same magnitude, they just have opposite signs.

e) If Go, measured at an extent of reaction = 0.5, is positive, the sign for G when the extent of reaction = 0.80 is also positive.

Explanation / Answer

The false statements are a,d,e

a) Delta G = -RT lnK

so if the delta G value is highly negative, then the value of K(Equilibrium constant) will be very high and not very small

d) It is not necessary that the value of G and Go have the same magnitude

e) The statement is also false
