Question

When a system is at equilibrium, ________. When a system is at equilibrium, ________. the reverse process is spontaneous but the forward process is not the forward and the reverse processes are both spontaneous both forward and reverse processes have stopped the forward process is spontaneous but the reverse process is not the process is not spontaneous in either direction

Answer 1

Answer:

When a system is at equilibrium, the process is not spontaneous at either direction.

Explanation:

The process is not spontaneous at either direction , when a system is at equilibrium  ΔG = 0, because -

We know that a negative ΔG indicates a forward-moving phase that is random.

We already know that a positive ΔG implies a non-spontaneous phase going forward.

Thus , here ΔG = 0, so the process is not spontaneous in either direction.
