Question

A biochemical reaction will proceed in the direction as written if:_______a. ΔG > 0.b. ΔH > 0.c. ΔG = zero.d. ΔG < 0.e. ΔH < 0.

Answer 1

Answer:

ΔG < 0

Explanation:

The condition for spontaneity of a chemical reaction is that ∆G<0. Hence for any biochemical reaction to proceed as written, ∆G must have a negative value.

If ∆G >0, the reaction is not spontaneous and will not proceed as written. ∆G=0 means that the reaction has attained equilibrium.
