Question

the reaction a(g) ⇌ b(g) has an equilibrium constant that is less than one. what can you conclude about ∆g° for the reaction?

Answer 1

For this reaction: ΔG⁰>0.

Balanced chemical reaction A(g) ⇌ (g)

ΔG° indicates that all reactants and products are in their standard states.

ΔG° = R·T·lnK.

ΔG° is Gibbs free energy

T is the temperature on the Kelvin scale

R is the ideal gas constant

The equilibrium constant (K) is the ratio of the partial pressures or the concentrations of products to reactants.

Gibbs free energy (G) determines if reaction will proceed spontaneously, nonspontaneously or in equilibrium processes.

If K < 1, than ΔG° > 0.

Reactants (in this example A) are favored over products (in this example B) at equilibrium.
